In a major transform of course, President Barack Obama has make a decision that a federal law against anti-gay marriage is unlawful and will no longer defend it in court, the White House announced on Wednesday.

President Barak Obama has decided not to further defend the federal law that bans recognition of same-sex gay marriages between gays and lesbians, a 1996 federal ban on same-sex marriage marks a most important success for gay rights advocates and a fork in the road for Democrats and Republicans.

The lively decision that will help homosexuals is coming after the Congress recent repealing of the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy that allowed gay and lesbian to serve in the military.

Obama expressed as admitted and evolving to this view, “I struggle with this.” He said his “baseline” place is that civil unions provide couples “the safety and the lawful human rights that married couples have.”

That means that an anticipated 1,140 policies and laws about marriage will remain in position and compulsory. The gay couples who are marital in the states, where they live will still be without the federal benefits of marriage, in matters such as taxes and Social Security survivor settlement.
