Boston Federal court rules marriage between man and women only unconstitutional.

A federal appeals court ruled Thursday against a central provision of the Defense of Marriage Act, a groundbreaking decision that tees up a potential battle before the Supreme Court.

The three-judge panel of the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston ruled that the provision defining marriage as between a man and woman is unconstitutional in that it denies gay couples the rights granted to heterosexual couples.

The unanimous decision once again brings the issue of gay marriage to the fore of the nation's political debate. It comes just a few weeks after President Obama announced his support for gay marriage -- in the wake of that announcement, some gay advocacy groups have stepped up pressure on Washington to fight DOMA.

There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

What about my right to marry seven thirteen year old girls....or the lamppost on the corner, whichever is the most easily convinced to do so.

Regardless of my own opinion on the subject (ie. doesn't bother me in the least), I'm still not sure what "rights" are being denied.

It's about the federal benefits section of DOMA, it does not address forcing other states to recognize queer marriage, nor did the 1st Circuit court rule that the their finding had to be enforced ahead of a Supreme Court challenge.  It sounds more like a New England libtard feelgood ruling that the queers can hang their nipple clamps on and gives more cover to obama and how lousy a job he's done.

C.S. Lewis

A community may possess all the necessary moral qualifications, in so high a degree, as to be capable of self-government under the most adverse circumstances; while, on the other hand, another may be so sunk in ignorance and vice, as to be incapable of forming a conception of liberty, or of living, even when most favored by circumstances, under any other than an absolute and despotic government.

They should have stated civil unions instead of Marriage. This is just the federal court trying to force same sex marriage on people again.

And yes, I agree, it is also another distraction to get people away from Obama failed record. Not to worry though, Romney will keep driving how bad his record is home.

This is ehy I voted against amendment 1 here in NC.  It eas poorly worded and states that the only recognized domestic union is between is marriage between a man and woman so no civil unions, or common law marriage.
