Group Tries To Get Ban On Gay Marriage

Two weeks before the presidential primary, civil rights groups are teaming up to try and stop an amendment against gay marriage.

The Human Rights Campaign -- the nation's largest gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender civil rights group -- is holding a series of educational sessions to inform voters of the November state constitutional amendment that would ban same-sex marriage and eliminate all domestic partnerships.

The training session will be held Tuesday night at Fifi's Bistro-Wine Bar Restaurant on South Eola Drive starting at 5:30.

On the other side of the debate, the gay marriage petition circulating the state by the group called Florida4Marriage is having a hard time coming up with enough signatures to get the gay marriage ban on the ballot.

The lack of signatures is because of duplicates found in the verification process.
