2 men in FL same-sex wedding lawsuit to attend State of the Union

Hollywood, Fla. (AP) — Two men who became the first gay men to marry in Florida will be attending President Barack Obama's State of the Union address.

U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Weston, invited Jeff and Todd Delmay of Hollywood to be her guests Tuesday night in Washington, D.C.

Todd Delmay tells the South Florida Sun Sentinel that the congresswoman called the newlyweds with the invitation herself. He says he hopes "that every same-sex family feels like we have them there with us in our heart."

The Delmays were among six same-sex couples who sued Miami-Dade County for the right to get married. Theirs was among the first same-sex weddings performed in Miami on Jan. 5, a day before same-sex marriages became legal statewide.
