The U.S. Supreme Court ruling that struck down Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act requires that federal benefits be provided to married gay couples in states where gay marriage is legal. This means that the federal government can no longer discriminate against legally married same-sex couples when it comes to giving out benefits like Social Security, Medicaid, and tax breaks. However, this ruling does not require states to legalize gay marriage or provide state benefits to married gay couples.
