Same-sex marriage in Florida is legal statewide from January 6, 2015, as a result of Brenner v. Scott, the lead case on the issue. In this case, a U.S. district court ruled the state's same-sex marriage ban unconstitutional on August 21, 2014. The order was stayed temporarily; state attempts at extending the stay failed, with theU.S. Supreme Court denying further extension on December 19, 2014. With the stay expired, the case is still under appeal.
