DOMA Stories:
Federal Marriage Discrimination Hurts Families
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.
