In
a major victory for gay rights and same-sex activists, the 1st US
Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston has ruled that the Defense of
Marriage Act is unconstitutional. DOMA defines marriage as an
act between a man and a woman.
“In
a unanimous ruling a three-judge panel agreed with a decision by a
lower court in 2010 that DOMA is unconstitutional,” CNN is
reporting. The law, according to the justices, interferes with the
state’s rights to define marriage.
