June 26, 2013. Cambridge, MA.
Crowds gathered outside of Cambridge City Hall, the first city in the nation to offer same-sex marriage licenses, to celebrate the 5-4 decision of the Supreme Court which struck down the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) that defined marriage as a union between one man and one woman. The Court ruled the law was unconstitutional under the equal protection clause, and the decision opens the doors for married gay couples to be eligible for federal benefits.
