Kings Park Reacts: Supreme Court KOs DOMA

“This law was just so clearly discriminatory and clearly so unconstitutional that I could not see any other way the court would rule,” he said.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo was quick to praise the decision as well. 

"Two years ago, New York became the largest state to enact marriage equality, and since then we have seen a growing recognition across the country that all citizens deserve equal rights under the law, regardless of sexual orientation," he said in a statement.

"It is my hope that today’s breakthrough decisions will propel our nation forward and finally allow all Americans to be granted the same rights and protections under the law."

U.S. Rep. Tim Bishop also showed his support.

"Today’s ruling that the Defense of Marriage Act is unconstitutional is another important step in the struggle to eradicate discrimination from federal law. It is also a victory for the families who will now be able to access the benefits and rights accorded to married partners by the federal government if they are legally married in a state. America is a more just and more pro-family nation as a result of this decision," he said in a statement.

Meanwhile, the response on Kings Park Patch's Facebook page was mixed.

"Sorry , that's just not right. Not in support of same sex marriage. The Catholic church don't recognize it , nor do I. Who is the government to change that. Our Government today is ruining our great country," commented Peter Devlin.

Reader Roman Berger was quick to respond to Devlin's comment. 

"To rebut your viewpoint: this nation was formed on a separation of church and state. The Catholic Church does not rule the United States of America. You don't have to like it at all. Oh, and from what I am reading, marriage between same sex couples will still not be performed in NC, Florida or Texas," he wrote.
