Edie, know her story !

The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in (Edie) Windsor v. United States, which challenges DOMA, the 1996 law that mandates unequal treatment of legally married same-sex couples, Edith Windsor's Supreme Court case, filed by the American Civil Liberties Union, deals directly with DOMA's Section 3, which restricts marriage to a union between a man and a woman. Following the death of her late wife Thea Spyer, Windsor was forced to pay $363,000 in estate taxes simply because of DOMA. selectively depriving them of the 1,138 protections and responsibilities that marriage triggers at the federal level.
