01-06-2015 Some 37 years after Miami-Dade County saw one of the most notorious and vitriolic anti-gay legislative campaigns in U.S. history, the county has become the first place in Florida to allow same-sex marriages. Judge Sarah Zabel lifted the stay, which had been put in place during the appeals process following the August decision that Florida’s 2008 ban on same-sex marriage was discriminatory. Florida becomes 36th state to legalize gay marriage.
