The following excerpt is from a Supreme Court decision:
This requires the Court to hold, as it now does, that DOMA [the Defense of Marriage Act] is unconstitutional as a deprivation of the liberty of the person protected by the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution. The liberty protected by the Fifth Amendment's Due Process Clause contains within it the prohibition against denying to any person equal protection of the laws….DOMA singles out a class of persons deemed by a State entitled to recognition and protection to enhance their own liberty. It imposes a disability on the class by refusing to acknowledge a status the state finds dignified and proper.
—United States v. Windsor, 2013
