Item: Judge declares US gay-marriage ban is unconstitutional /Michael Levenson, Boston Globe.

More Info: A federal district court judge in Boston today struck down the 1996 federal law that defines marriage as a union exclusively between a man and a woman. Judge Joseph L. Tauro ruled that the federal Defense of Marriage law violates the Constitutional right of married same-sex couples to equal protection under the law and upends the federal government’s long history of allowing states to set their own marriage laws.

Question: Do you agree/disagree with this ruling?
