I thought the entire issue of marriage, civil unions, etc. was State jurisdiction??

Today CA can allow marriages of gays and lesbians and this will be fully recognized only in CA...and I suppose in MA.

AZ for example have their own rules and are not bound by AZ rules to recognize CA rules.

If it is a State issue, then I don't understand DOMA's jurisdiction???

Congratulations to everyone who is positively impacted by this decision...
