Right with you there chris, on all counts - the tears and the consideration of moving. Also seems quite a long shot for Florida to pass anything like this.

Ms T ...
Not same-sex marriage I know, but a huge step in human rights, and a win for the dignity we all deserve.

MANY states do not recognise sex changes, even if they allow you to change your sex on your Driver's license or even your birth certificate. Because of your appearance and your paperwork, you may be allowed to marry, but if the underlying law does not regognise sex changes, then the marriage, if challenged by divorce or upon death, can/will be found invalid. If you move in to such a state having been legally married somewhere else, doesn't mean a state with these restrictions will recognise your marriage. So it remains a same sex issue. Seems like we are all stuck on the same road. Fortunately we are gaining ground at last.

... and Ms T thank you so much for all you do to help our movement and keep us up to date as well
Smooches,
Keri
