Florida - Rick Scott supports, Charlie Crist opposes Florida’s same-sex marriage ban
Rick Scott is on the wrong side of history, yet again!
http://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/gay-south-florida/article2946940.html
In 2008, nearly 62 percent of Florida voters supported a constitutional ban against same-sex marriage and civil unions. Polling now shows a majority of Floridians now support same-sex marriage and several local and federal courts last summer ruled the ban unconstitutional.
Goudreau: Gov. Scott I don't think I got an answer to the question. (Boos from audience.) Do you believe the ban is discriminatory?
I don't believe in discrimination. (More boos.)
I don't believe in discrimination. I believe in traditional marriage. the court's going to decide. This is a decision for the courts and they're ultimately going to make the decision.
Former Gov. Charlie Crist’s response:
“I don't believe in discrimination either and I don't believe in it so much that I believe gay couples should have the right to marry.”
