I don't think that homosexuality is normal human behavior myself. I can have this opinion, correct?

And if on a jury, I would not give a dime to a person in the OP's set of circumstances even if the laws change.

I think these gay people just do things on purpose ... trying to force people to accept THEIR viewpoints and ignoring the rights of others to have their own. I guess that's one aspect of our jurist-prudence system - but it does not mean I have to like it nor support it.

Now, I don't really care what gay folks do ... but I am not going to concern myself with their plight or anguish...and I certainly do not think that they should be able to get married or have rights like married folks.

Hey, this is America! You're entitled to any opinion you wish, no matter how ill-thought or uninformed!

How much do you want to spend? Do you want to try to be a test case? You're not having a bat mitzvah, but a wedding. That they allow bat mitvahs at the place is not really relevant. Currently, the FL Civil rights act covers:
760.01 Purposes; construction; title.


The reason why you have to focus on state law is because of DOMA. While you would normally have some federal protection based on sexual orientation, this person is not preventing you from having your birthday there, but your wedding. While I don't think the particular issue here is protected by DOMA, I don't believe it has been litigated. Being the first to litigate something is expensive, time consuming and must become the focus of your life for a while.

Is that what you want or do you want to get married?


Bats have mitvahs?;)
