DOMA Stories:
Federal Marriage Discrimination Hurts Families
We have compiled 20 of these stories into a printable book, DOMA Stories: How Federal Marriage Discrimination Hurts American Families, which you can download by clicking on the image below.
GLAD is in court challenging the federal government's discrimination against legally married same-sex couples. In Gill v OPM and Pedersen v OPM, we represent couples and widowers who are harmed in various ways by DOMA. But DOMA hurts many more people than we can represent in these lawsuits.
In these stories, loving couples, widows and widowers, from all walks of life, describe how DOMA hurts their families.
