With same-sex marriage on the brink of being legalized in Florida or getting forever mired in litigation, advocates and gay rights groups have been using news releases and the media to call on Gov. Rick Scott to lift the ban.

But now one same-sex couple is going directly to the governor in the form of a heartfelt letter pleading for him to meet with them and others like them, as well as their families, to hear their stories.

The letter, which has been sent to Scott's office, was penned by Terry and Sharon Kant-Raunch, but they're backed by hundreds of couples requesting the meeting.
