The Defense of Marriage Act ("DOMA") prohibits federal recognition of same-sex marriage. As a result of DOMA, same-sex married couples pay more taxes because they must file as single. If an employer provides health coverage to a same-sex spouse, the worker must pay tax on that benefit. A same-sex spouse can be deported and cannot collect social security. Same-sex spouses are not eligible for benefits under ERISA or FMLA. The same-sex spouse of a member of the US Military does not get any healthcare or housing benefits. If the servicemember is killed in war, the spouse gets no benefits. Opposite-sex spouses can live on base and automatically get military ID cards. This is not true of same-sex spouses.
