How do state DOMAs affect same-sex marriages?
About 38 states have passed measures banning marriages for same sex couples. Washington state finally passed a DOMA in 1998 (after 3 years of trying, all forcefully opposed by LMA and many other groups). These laws and the federal DOMA will eventually be challenged in court. Given the legal precedents already being established, we believe these state DOMA acts will be found unconstitutional.
