DOMA Struck Down by Second Circuit Court of Appeals
One more nail in the coffin
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit on Thursday struck down the Defense of Marriage Act, finding the Clinton-era law violates the right to equal protection guaranteed by the Constitution.
DOMA defines marriage as between a man and a woman and says states don't have to recognize same-sex marriage.
