They can’t be denied Federal Benefits regardless of what state they live/work in —no?
No. According to the ruling the federal government looks to the state of residence to see whether the marriage is honored. DOMA was only partially struck down, the full faith and credit clause has not been restored. A gay marriage performed in a state like New York doesn’t carry federal benefits if the couple then moves or returns to a state like Mississippi that has explicitly outlawed ssm.
Total bullshit ruling.
