What a story. Thank you for sharing. We live in California we were married in 2008 and are a part of the 18,000 legally married women awaiting the status on our marriage validity. We are 62 and 51. We have waited 22 years to have a legal status. We also have “our story” to add to the millions of discrimination stories of other disenfranchised “American Citizens” with no human or civil rights.
Thank you again for sharing. Keep the faith.

Janice what can we do to help? Please post a blog about what steps a common citizen can take. Who do we contact? What organizations are working in Florida to change these laws?
Your story and my family’s conservative stance has me feeling helpless in this fight. Please let us all know what to do to help you fight.
blessings,

My heart sooo goes out to you and your family. A friend of mine posted your story on Facebook, and there are so many of us that are so completely outraged by this. It is such a terrible, horrible miscarriage of justice. I do hope you take it to the U.S. Supreme Court, but if you don’t I certainly can understand that.

I am VERY saddened that you are blaming yourself – it is a failure of our society, our justice system – NOT you ….. I do hope whatever happens you see your way clear of self-blame …. what a terrible tragedy you went, and continue to go through all the time. It must make it so much worse if you really do blame yourself for any of it.

I marched in Washington D.C. yesterday, and I thought of you and Lisa a lot while going past the White House, and approaching the Capital. Without national Gay Marriage this could happen to anybody, and I am so grateful that you have pushed this as far as you have, as hard as it must be, so people can put a face on our cause.

I wish you peace ………..

Please tell us how we can continue this fight. More than one person I know is utterly outraged at this miscarriage of justice and we would all like to do something to help, in whatever way we can.

I’m so sorry this has happened to you.

This injustice shows me the depravity of the court system in Florida.

These so-called “Christians” are the most immoral and degenerate people I’ve ever come across!

I hope you and your legal team are able to take the case all the way up to the US Supreme Court, because the bigots in the lower court need to be given a huge rebuke by SCOTUS!

Janice – Can you appeal the ruling? You have not failed at anything – it broke my heart when I read you are feeling like a failure. What you have been through and how you have handled all that has happened. I think you are a special kind of hero.

YOU didn’t fail in court, the COURT failed you and your family and all of the families who do not fit the standard set-up.

Again, YOU didn’t fail. YOU fought the good fight and you are on the side of RIGHT.
