BREAKING NEWS: Federal Court declares Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutional


The U.S. Court of Appeals in Boston today struck down as unconstitutional Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act, which defines a marriage as a union of people of opposite sexes. The plaintiffs claimed it was discriminatory because federal benefits were denied to same-sex couples married in Massachusetts.  The court agreed deciding that the Act unfairly denies equal benefits to legally married same-sex couples.
