Florida has filed a new appeal to keep gay marriages from happening in Florida until the state Supreme Court makes a decision. And this new appeal goes to the highest court in the country.

Attorney General Pam Bondi has filed an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. The appeal would extend a stay to put gay marriage licenses on hold until all the consolidated cases on the issue work their way through the judicial system.

As of right now the injunction to stop gay marriages expires Jan. 5, 2015.

A federal court denied a motion to extend the stay past Jan. 5. Bondi's appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court would have the justices decide whether to extend the stay or allow it to expire.
