Marriage is between two people.  DOMA was the law change that specified that marriage was "between one man and one woman."  All subsequent state laws that have adopted same-sex marriages have done so based on their state constitutions, that define marriage between two people.

No, ADR is wrong, in western civilization marriage has always been defined as between a man and a woman, only recently have some malicious idiots tried to promote their own political agenda's by changing it. Doma, was teh DEFENSE of marriage act and was approved to DEFEND the traditional marriage definition. Anyone who tells you differently is a revisionist idiot.
Wrong, Sol.  Read the Act.

Section 7:

Sec. 7. Definition of `marriage' and `spouse' ``In determining the meaning of any Act of Congress, or of any ruling, regulation, or interpretation of the various administrative bureaus and agencies of the United States, the word `marriage' means only a legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife, and the word `spouse' refers only to a person of the opposite sex who is a husband or a wife.''.

Read it again, if you continue to foolishly insist that "western civilization marriage has always been defined as between a man and a woman" ... because up until DOMA, it legally had not.  That's a fact.  

That's precisely, I repeat PRECISELY what the Act did.

The act also (Section 2(a)) implemented a mandate that no state is required to recognize marriages made legal by their own consitutions.  This was to combat the growing recognition that most state constitutions defined marriage as an act between two people and that the U.S. constitution never defined marriage being "between a man and a woman."

Use logic, Sol.  If the U.S. Constitution or state constitutions already defined marriage between a man and a woman (instead of "two people"), then why on Earth would DOMA need to be written to clarify "between a man and a woman"??

Seriously, read the act.  It'll help you in this discussion.
