As I usually caution about SCOTUS rulings, read the fine print and also what those rulings don't say. I just read about the DOMA ruling on the CNN site. It states that the Court overturned DOMA. No it didn't. It's opinion applies only to the federal recognition of same sex marriages in states where same sex marriage is legal.

As far as I can tell, it did not rule as unconstitutional that portion of the Act that allows states to refuse to recognize same-sex marriages performed under the laws of other states.

So, be careful.
