Not to mention the families that are being split up because, even though they are legally married, since DOMA denies recognition of same sex couples, visas are being denied to couples where one of the spouses is a foreign national and is getting deported because of it. In all of these cases, if it was a hetero couple, the visa would get renewed without question.

Current Federal law denies married, civil unionized and domestic partnershipped same-sex couples approximately 1,100 federal benefits currently reserved as special privileges to opposite-sex married couples. Even though their marriage may be recognized within a couple's state, the federal government considers them to be simply roommates; their children are regarded as illegitimate. Yes equal treatment before the law.
