In a historic ruling handed down on June 27, 2013, the Supreme Court declared that Section 3 of DOMA is unconstitutional and that the federal government cannot discriminate against married lesbian and homosexual couples when deciding federal benefits and protections.
<h3>What is the United States v. Windsor case?</h3>
A significant same-sex marriage civil rights case heard by the US Supreme Court was Windsor, 570 U.S. 744 (2013). The Defense of Marriage Act's (DOMA) Section 3 was found to be in violation of the Fifth Amendment's Due Process Clause because it forbade the federal government from recognizing same-sex unions.
Asserting that Windsor compensated her for her harm in the lower court and that there was no debate because the Government-backed her claim, Justice Scalia dissented in concurrence with Justice Thomas and Chief Justice Roberts.
