The armed forces still treat married lesbian and gay service members and their families differently than it treats all other married military couples and their families. That's because the so-called Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) prevents the federal government from recognizing legal marriages of same-sex couples, depriving them and their families of crucial legal protections.

Freedom to Marry and the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network have launched a campaign to help end this unfair and unequal treatment. Watch and share this video, and learn more about how DOMA harms same-sex couples and their families.
