DOMA [The Defense of Marriage Act] instructs all federal officials, and indeed all persons with whom same-sex couples interact, including their own children, that their marriage is less worthy than the marriages of others. The federal statute is invalid, …the federal statute is in violation of the Fifth Amendment.

—-Justice Kennedy
