The Supreme Court\u2019s June decision to undermine the Federal Defense of Marriage Act and defeat California\u2019s Proposition 8, has sparked a domino effect of legal and procedural victories for LGBT rights advocates. Among them is the announcement last week that same-sex married couples will now be able to file federal tax forms \u2013 a right long denied that activists decried as a tangible discriminatory effect of marriage bans. The IRS went further saying that even married couples residing in states where gay marriage was not yet legalized, would be eligible to file federal taxes jointly. <\/p>\n
