DOJ: Wife Of Lesbian Employee Should Receive Benefits, DOMA Is Unconstitutional | Via Metro Weekly’s Chris Geidner: Yesterday, the Department of Justice filed a brief in federal court on behalf of employee Karen Golinski’s federal court challenge, “supporting her lawsuit seeking access to equal health benefits for her wife and arguing strongly that the Defense of Marriage Act is unconstitutional.” The filing “responds to the June 3 filing by the lawyers for the House Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group’s Republican members asking the federal court in San Francisco to dismiss Golinski’s lawsuit.”
