<h2 style="text-align: left;">Picturing Marriage Equality</h2>
<p style="text-align: left;">Through the ages, many wise words have been spoken of love and marriage.</p>
<p style="text-align: left; padding-left: 30px;">Love is a promise;</p>
<p style="text-align: left; padding-left: 30px;">love is a souvenir,</p>
<p style="text-align: left; padding-left: 30px;">once given never forgotten,</p>
<p style="text-align: left; padding-left: 30px;">never let it disappear.</p>
<p style="text-align: left; padding-left: 30px;"><em>&#8212;John Lennon</em></p>

<p>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, &#8230;the federal statute is in violation of the Fifth Amendment.</p>
