Conservative Groups Move In to Defend Florida's Traditional Marriage Law

Social and religious conservative groups filed a motion to intervene in Pareto v. Rubin, a Miami-Dade case where six same-sex couples are looking to overturn Floridas state constitutional amendment which defines marriage as only between a man and a woman. A majority of voters -- 62 percent -- passed that amendment back in 2008.

Among the conservative groups filing the motion on Tuesday were Florida Family Action and Liberty Counsel. But other groups outside the right joined the motion on Tuesday including the Florida Democratic League, a Hispanic group which is currently facing fire from the Florida Democratic Party over its name, and People United to Struggle for Equality.
