Next Front in DOMA War Launches Tomorrow


Hoping to uphold the July 2010 ruling by federal Judge Joseph Tauro that ruled the Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutional, the Massachusetts-based Gay and Lesbian Allies and Defenders will file a brief in an appeals court on Thursday that highlights the federal government's inability to justify the discriminatory law.

The appeals brief stems from Gill v. Office of Personnel Management, one of two DOMA lawsuits that GLAD won last year that challenge Section 3 of the bill (both rulings were decided by Tauro). Section 3 of DOMA limits the definition of marriage to one man and one woman for all federal purposes. The Department of Justice is appealing Tauro's rulings, even though President Obama says he wants DOMA tossed in history's dustbin.
