A homosexual couple kisses each other at the Central Park in New York City, June 28, 2013. U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday issued a pair of rulings expanding homosexuals' right to marry, striking down Defense of the Marriage Act (DOMA), which bans same-sex married couples from receiving federal benefits, while declining to rule on another case concerning California's ban on same-sex marriage, opening the door for the state to legalize gay marriage.
