Previously a lower court decided that Florida could basically ignore Washington's silly little laws, but the 2nd district court of appeal decided that Florida will recognize gay adoptions in other states under the pretty standard faith and full credit clause which is found in the United States Constitution.
While the Embry-Ryan ordeal is pretty sad, twisted and in should no way be held up as a poster case for gay parenting, the ruling would allow for gay parents to move to Florida with out worrying about whether or not a pretty basic and necessary thing, like their relationship with their child, will be recognized or not.
Of course, Charlie Crist says he'll have his lawyers poke around in the gay adoption thing to figure out the full impact. By which he probably means the full impact on his Senate run.
