Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

HOA discrimination - can my Homeowners Association tell me who can and cannot live in my house with me? After my marriage ended in divorce, I was left in a large home by myself. My HOA has banned anyone but a blood relative (or new husband) to live with me here. Is this legal?
