That means you cannot file joint state taxes and you are denied whatever state benefits there are when it comes to legal civil marriage in that state.
I believe there has been talk from Dems to introduce legislation to repeal DOMA entirely. We all know that will go nowhere in the House....maybe it would pass in the Senate.
We need registered voters and we need a 70% or greater turnout in 2014 to actually get anything done about anything.
