How the Defense of Marriage Act Is Harming One Military Couple

Описание к видео How the Defense of Marriage Act Is Harming One Military Couple

The repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" created a pathway for gays and lesbians to serve openly in our armed forces, but the victory was, unfortunately, limited. Because of the Defense of Marriage Act, a law which defines marriage as a union between one man and one woman for the purposes of the federal government, same-sex military spouses are not eligible for nearly 100 spousal benefits freely available to other military spouses. This inequality harms our military families and weakens our entire force.
