ELI5:What the ruling on DOMA means for gay rights

Apologies if this has already been posted but I couldnt find it. So anyway, what will this ruling mean and what will change because of it?

You're the lucky first one!

Generally it means that if your state approves of your gay marriage the federal government must recognize it as well.

This doesn't mean gay marriage is legal everywhere, but it means gay marriage, where it's legal, will be more equal than it was before this ruling.
