Commentary: Courts Rule on Same-Sex Marriage Cases

CHICAGO --- Two decisions recently handed down by federal courts may have impact on gay rights in the United States for years to come. Last month, a judge in Massachusetts struck down portions of the Defense of Marriage Act that prohibited the federal government from offering certain benefits to legally married same-sex couples. More recently, a judge in California overturned that state’s Proposition 8, which mandated that only marriage between a man and a woman would be recognized there.
