Windsor that Section 3 of the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) is unconstitutional. as a result, for all federal laws the terms \"spouse\" and \"marriage\" now include, in addition to opposite-sex spouses and marriage between persons of opposite sexes, same-sex spouses and marriages between persons of the same sex. The Supreme Court's decision has no effect, however, on state laws.\" Juffras discusses six things local government employers need to know about the Windsor decision.
