WASHINGTON, D.C. — As the United States Senate prepares to work on a bill to cross a regulation to codify marriage equality, Florida Senator Marco Rubio has come out strongly in opposition to the bill.
According to CNN’s Manu Raju, when requested in regards to the same-sex marriage bill coming to the Senate, “Marco Rubio told me that he is a NO” on the bill, “calling it a ‘stupid waste of time.'”

Senator Rubio’s place is in opposition to no less than 50 Republican House members who supported the bill, together with six from the state of Florida. All 11 Florida Democrats voted in favor of codifying marriage equality.
The Senate would not have a timetable for when the bill will likely be introduced up, however it is going to want no less than 10 Republican votes to beat a possible filibuster.
