What a great day for equality! The Supreme Court invalidated today a provision of the federal Defense of Marriage Act that has prevented married gay couples from receiving benefits in marriage (such as social security and more), and they also cleared the way for same-sex marriage in California.
“It treated loving, committed gay and lesbian couples as a separate and lesser class of people,” President Obama said today. Congrats to all!
