David G. Savage and James Oliphant of The Los Angeles Times have a news update headlined "Gay marriage: Obama administration won't defend part of marriage act; In a key shift on gay rights, the administration says a section of the Defense of Marriage Act is unconstitutional as applied to gay couples who are legally married under state law; The administration vows not to defend the law against two lawsuits brought by same-sex couples."
