Is Same Sex Marriage Legal in Florida?

Yes, Same-Sex Marriage is Legal in Florida.

Same-sex marriage has been legal in Florida since 2015. This legalization resulted from a series of legal challenges.

• Brenner v. Scott (2014): A U.S. District Court in Florida ruled the state’s ban on same-sex marriage unconstitutional.
• Obergefell v. Hodges (2015): The U.S. Supreme Court issued a landmark decision making same-sex marriage legal nationwide. This decision overruled Florida’s ban and any remaining challenges to it.

As stated in Obergefell v. Hodges: “The right to marry is a fundamental right inherent in the liberty of the person, and under the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment, couples of the same-sex may not be deprived of that right and that liberty.”

Therefore, same-sex couples in Florida have the same right to marry as opposite-sex couples.
