Activists Call On Obama To Repeal Federal Gay Marriage Ban

Grassroots gay activists protesting the passage of California’s gay marriage ban on November 4 turned their attention Saturday to the federal-level ban.

The federal Defense of Marriage Act, widely known by its acronym DOMA, is the 12-year-old law that defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman for federal agencies and allows states to ignore legal gay marriages performed in another state.
