Hundreds of same-sex couples married across Florida today, the first day their unions are recognized in the state. WJCT was at the Duval County Courthouse to report on the historic day.
Timm Purcell and Garlyn Purcell became the first same-sex couple to get married in Duval County in front of the courthouse.
Florida’s statewide ban on gay marriage ended just after midnight, and same-sex couples lined up to apply for marriage licenses before seven in the morning.
