“I was very nervous,” Navratilova said later, via The Associated Press. “It came off. She said yes. It was kind of an out-of-body experience. You’ve seen people propose at sporting events before, in movies, in real life. Here it was happening to me. It was like I was watching myself do it.”

The couple has been together since 2006, according to the Daily Mail. After #shesaidyes, Navratilova took to Twitter to thank her fans for the support.

Thanks everyone for your good wishes- I am very happy, so is Julia and our whole family:)

Can you give us a little teaser of what your original talent showcase will be at the finale on September 18?

My original talent will be me doing a choreography routine to a mix track. I don’t want to reveal too much just yet, but I can say New York better be ready for me.

Screen Shot 2014-09-06 at 12.39.24 PMHow did your friends and family react when you won Stoli Guy 2014 in your hometown?

Everyone was excited for me that I won, just congratulating me and telling me to keep up the good work when I go represent Dallas at the finale.

Being an LGBT ambassador for Stoli is an exciting job. Why do you think you’d be the best at it?

Best just at being myself, people respect you more when you are honest and genuine and actually care about something.

Why do you think being “authentic” is important in the LGBT community?

Being authentic is about being yourself, and owning who you are and not allowing others to decide life choices. Because at the end of the day, only you answer for how you live your life.

Screen Shot 2014-09-06 at 12.39.06 PMWhat inspired you to participate in Stoli Guy 2014?

This is the first competition I’ve ever done. The fact that they were looking for the right mix of talent and personality really inspired me to be a part.

Favorite Stoli Guy Cocktail: Boy Next Door (Stoli Blueberi + Lemonade) for sure!

Broward County, Florida May Start Issuing Gay Marriage Licenses Next Week After Appeal Deadline Passes

Broward County, Florida May Start Issuing Gay Marriage Licenses Next Week After Appeal Deadline Passes

FloridaA Broward County, Florida clerk is contemplating whether to start issuing marriage license to same-sex couples starting next week following the passing of an appeal deadline in a case overturning the state’s gay marriage ban, Equality Florida reports:

On August 4, Broward County Judge Cohen ruled Florida’s ban on marriage for same-sex couples unconstitutional – and included the state must recognize legal out of state marriages. 

The judge stayed the ruling allowing for a 30-day appeal period. But as of Thursday, the deadline has passed and no appeal was made to the ruling. 

The case involved a woman from Lake Worth, Heather Brassner, who was seeking a divorce from her estranged partner. The couple had a civil union in Vermont back in 2002. 

The Miami Herald adds:

Screen Shot 2014-09-06 at 5.02.02 PM“Now we know the state isn’t appealing and we will have the first valid same-sex divorce in Florida,” said Coral Springs attorney Nancy Brodzki, who represents art dealer Heather Brassner in her divorce from Megan Lade. A hearing in the case, before Broward Circuit Judge Dale Cohen, is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Wednesday for the divorce to become final.

“That very much leaves open the question as to whether the clerk of courts, on his own, will take it upon himself to say a judge in this circuit has [declared the ban] invalid and I will now issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples,” Brodzki said.

Broward County Clerk Howard Forman [pictured] said he expects to decide by early next week.

“I’m researching it as quickly as I can. We’ve been researching it for months,” Forman said Thursday evening. “Florida’s changing a lot and we’re vetting the issue as hard as we can.”

Joe.my.god adds “With 1.7M residents, Broward is Florida’s second-most populous county and includes the state’s highest concentrations of gay residents in Fort Lauderdale, Wilton Manors, and Oakland Park”

And although Attorney General Pam Bondi didn’t appeal this case, she did file a notice of an appeal in federal court on Thursday challenging a separate ruling striking down the state’s gay marriage ban.
