Lately, a lot of our GLBT friends and acquaintances are leaving Florida and traveling north to get married. We made mention of Al & Chuck from AlandChuck.travel & Queenhead Restaurant owners Paul & Darren. This week a couple we know from Pasco County and have been together for 46 years are now getting married this week in Bennington, VT. Doug Mullins and partner Garry Payne will be getting hitched Sept. 23.

Raise a glass to a fighting GLBT rights couple!

The closest place for any Floridian couple to get legally married is Washington, DC. Another reason to sign the Florida Marriage Equality petition.
