I live in Florida.
I am Buddhist.
My partner is agnostic.
Are there any buddhist monks or clergy near me that are known to perform Gay marriages?

It doesn't matter to me that it's not yet recognized in my state...
I'm not wanting to do it to please the governor...

Have you tried your local Unitarian church? Seriously. They're gay-friendly, agnostic-friendly and Buddhist-friendly too. They may be able to at least provide you with a location for the ceremony, if not supply the clergy. If you can't find a Buddhist clergy member who's willing to do it, perhaps consider taking a look at the Unitarians.

Not sure, but if you are buddhist, you know if there is a temple near you.
It wouldn't hurt to ask.

Not in Florida, it's illegal. But Massachusetts and I think Illinois are both states that you can go to. I wish you both a long, happy life together, wherever you go :) Congrats!

Was buddah Gay? No wonder you don't see too many buddist extremists.
