Improved: 10 things that happened immediately after the Supreme Court of Gay Rights resolutions

The Supreme Court issued two rulings on landmark gay rights on Wednesday, striking down the law on defense of marriage — a law which forbade the Government recognize same-sex marriages - and dismiss a suit of the supporters of proposition 8 in California ban on gay marriage.

It didn't take long to make the decisions take effect. Below is a list of policies changed and events that took place in the aftermath of the sentences:

(1) Equal military benefits were offered to Gay service members

Chuck Hagel Defense Secretary announced that the Pentagon would begin immediately offering equal benefits to members of the gay and their families.

"The Department of Defense celebrates the Supreme Court's decision today on the defense of Marriage Act," Hagel said in a statement. "The Department will immediately begin the process of implementation of the decision of the Supreme Court in consultation with the Department of Justice and other agencies of the Executive branch. The Defense Department intends to make the same benefits available to all military spouses - regardless of sexual orientation - as soon as possible. Now it is the law and is the right thing."

Husband 2.) Sean Brooks was protected from deportation

New Yorker are Brooks is officially married with her Colombian husband, Steven. With DRESSAGE, however, the federal Government does not recognize their nuptials, which means Steven request for a green card as the spouse of a citizen was denied. Later were rejected more claims based on their marriage, and husband of Brooks was facing deportation to Colombia. Once the Supreme Court, however, a New York immigration court apparently stopped the deportation process immediately.

(3) Some 28.500 other binational same-sex couples also breathed a sigh of relief

As HuffPost Elise Foley reports, Brooks and her husband were not the only ones facing potential deportation due to the refusal of the Government to conjugal visa applications:

They are among an estimated 28,500 binational same sex couples who have been excluded from immigration benefits because of DOMA, which does not allow the federal Government to recognize their marriages. Ruling of the Supreme Court on Wednesday does not entirely solve the problem - couples should marry instead of partners and must travel to a State that allows marriage between people of the same sex if they do not live in one - but it is still a great victory for LGBT rights.

4.) Married Gay couples began making room in their wallets for Extra money

With ido DRESSAGE, marriages of people of the same sex living in States with marriage equality are released from the taxes burdensome requirements that left them with a ticket to me. As reported by CNN Money, will now be able to transfer assets to one another with less expenses and filing their taxes on federal income jointly. At least a couple is trying to amend their tax returns for the last three years to get some of the additional taxes that paid for the DRESSAGE.

If you support equality and the idea of the IRS having to do more work, this is a win - win for you.
