A Sunrise couple who enjoys domestic partnership rights under the Broward County ordinance, hope that voters will defeat a state constitutional amendment that would define a marriage between a man and a woman as the only legally recognized domestic union in the state.
Helene Milman and Wayne Rauen have been together for 25 years. They say if they want to get married, they will, but for the moment, they are happy with the current circumstances of their relationship.
“If we got married, I would lose $13,000 a year from my deceased husband’s social security,” Milman said. “That’s a lot of money for a senior citizen.”
They made a video for an organization called Say No to Amendment 2. It can be viewed here.
