DOMA keeping spouses apart.

In the United states a series of laws known as doma, or the defense of marriage acts, keep the federal government from recognizing same sex marriages. Individual states can permit same sex couples to marriage, but the federal protections do not apply. Este es algo que David Gonzalez sabe muy bien. Gonzales esta casada con un hombre, sino porque su matrimonio no es reconocido por el gobierno, que se considera ilegal. El puede ser deportados y robado de su esposo.
