Legal exclusion of same-sex couples through the denial of marriage licenses is reprehensible. This results in a denial of 1,138 government benefits, meaning that 32 states express that same-sex couples are second-class citizens. There is a lot of work to be done in Washington and across the state legislatures to assure this right for all Americans. Data from 2013.
