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.
