Broward judge overturns Florida's gay marriage ban

A state circuit judge in Broward County today made history, ordering the state of Florida to recognize gay marriages performed in another state.

Circuit Judge Dale Cohen's ruling is the third in as many weeks by a Florida judge who has ruled that the state's ban on gay marriage is unconstitutional.

This one is unique, however, because it's the first requiring the state to recognize a gay marriage conducted elsewhere.

Those decisions have not yet been enforced because of pending appeals, meaning no same-sex couple has gotten married in Florida
