Florida’s ban on same-sex marriage was thrown out by a state court judge, adding to the list of 13 states where such laws have been invalidated in the past year.

Yesterday’s victory for gay couples in Miami-Dade County follows a narrower ruling by another Florida judge who this month ruled in favor of gay marriage in Monroe County, which includes Key West. Colorado’s ban was also voided this month, first by a state judge and then by a federal judge.
