An initiative to ban gay marriage in Florida will be on the November ballot after all.
A citizens group collected and had certified 649,346 signatures - 38,337 more than was required.
Within minutes of finding out it Floridians will be voting on this, the state GOP sent out the following statement:
“We applaud the Department of State’s certification of the Florida Marriage Amendment for the 2008 ballot, which illustrates the widespread support for the sanctity of marriage. We are grateful for the hard work of the Florida Coalition to Protect Marriage and the hundreds of thousands of Floridians who made their voices heard by signing this petition. The people of Florida will have the opportunity to vote on this important issue in November. I am hopeful we will see traditional marriage - between one man and one woman – defended in our state constitution.”
Nothing yet from opposition or the Democrats.
