it's complicated. on the state level, many definitions include language that prohibits marriage between anyone other than a man and a woman. federally, with DOMA overturned, there's no restrictive definition, but there are a variety of federal laws that make no sense for homosexual couples as they were written with hetero marriage in mind.

it was a pervasive assumption that permeated through all levels of law
