Here’s a 4-minute clip from King5 News in Washington State that highlights the impacts of the Defense of Marriage Act and the fact that the Federal Government does not recognize same-sex marriages. The news story features 2 different couples in the state of Massachusetts and speaks to things like tax laws, social security and other inequities these married couples face from a federal perspective.

In the wake of Washington passing gay marriage, this is a good reminder that even with our wins, we still have a way to go.
