Married gay couple fight for in-state tuition rights

After meeting in Paris, the two men had a whirlwind romance that led to marriage — and a lawsuit against Florida Atlantic University.

Paul Rubio and Gildas Dousset, who were legally wed in Massachusetts in July 2013, turned to the courts after the university rejected Dousset’s application for in-state tuition based on his marriage to Rubio. If the marriage were legally recognized in Florida, those rates would apply, according to the couple’s lawyer, George Castrataro.

Florida law has prohibited same-sex marriage, or the recognition of such marriages performed in other states, since 1997. Voters enshrined the ban in the state constitution in 2008. But since the partial repeal last year of the Defense of Marriage Act, which banned same-sex marriage on the federal level, laws such as these have been falling across the country.

The couple’s suit, filed May 14 with Florida’s Fourth District Court of Appeal in West Palm Beach, aims to make Florida the next to recognize such marriages.
