Life After DOMA

In the wake of the Supreme Court's decision striking down Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act, Lambda Legal has prepared a helpful guide to legal rights and benefits.

Topics covered include taxes and Social Security benefits, Medicaid and student loans, military spouses and immigration issues. Also included are legal topics for specific states, including Maryland, where same-sex couples have been permitted to enjoy the benefits of marriage since January 1, 2013.

Lambda Legal is the largest national legal organization dedicated to achieving full recognition of the civil rights of lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, transgender people and those with HIV through effective litigation, education, and public policy work.
