The Supreme Court and the Defense of Marriage Act

The legal definition of marriage is a relationship between men and women. Now the government seems to redefine what it means to be married. There are many opinions on this issue. This can be said to be about morality to make gay people happy in marriage and religion. And this list is still going on. This gay marriage problem has been going on in this country, especially for a long time. That country insists on whether to legalize same-sex marriage.

And since the Supreme Court treats the definition of the Marriage Protection Act (DOMA) as a union between men and women, the same-sex couples now (almost) legally married are entitled to federal benefits including immigration qualifications and taxes . Offer - It does not matter where you live. However, some Federal agencies, such as the Social Security Administration, only allow effective marriage at the couple's place of residence (where the couple live) to obtain federal benefits. If you are a valid gay marriage, but you live in a non-cognitive state, you are not eligible to receive social security benefits in your spouse's work record.

On March 26, the Supreme Court began a two - day historical debate about gay marriage. During the debate, the Supreme Court considered considering overturning the "Protection of the Marriage Law" established between proposal 8, California's gay marriage prohibition concept and Presidential Decree defining marriage as a male and female marriage. The Supreme Court ruling will be announced in June 2013. On 29 April, Jason Collins of the NBA Washington Wizards announced in a Sports Illustrated article that he is homosexual. "I am a 34-year-old N.B.A. center, I am a black person, I am gay," he wrote. "I have reached the enviable state of life, I can finish the work I want here I want to continue basketball.I still love the game and I am offering something. My coach and teammate Collins is the first player to play in NBA, NFL, NHL, or Major League Baseball.
