By Matt Baume (San Francisco, California) JAN 24 | A busy week for marriage equality all around the country, with new cracks appearing in the Defense of Marriage Act. Meanwhile, a slew of now bills appeared this week in various states, both for and against marriage.
We're starting to get a clearer picture of what marriage quality battles across the country are going to look like in 2011, and it's going to be a busy year. Keep an eye on Wyoming, Iowa, New York, New Hampshire, Maryland, and Washington DC.
And on a national level, a new lawsuit is challenging the Defense of Marriage Act. That's Dragovich versus the Department of the Treasury, and it has a very good chance of overturning at least part of DOMA. The case advanced this week with a judge ruling that it should proceed.
