DOMA never changed this.

Under the law, no U.S. state or political subdivision is required to recognize a same-sex marriage treated as a marriage in another state.

...

The main provisions of the act are as follows:

Section 2. Powers reserved to the states

No State, territory, or possession of the United States, or Indian tribe, shall be required to give effect to any public act, record, or judicial proceeding of any other State, territory, possession, or tribe respecting a relationship between persons of the same sex that is treated as a marriage under the laws of such other State, territory, possession, or tribe, or a right or claim arising from such relationship.

One thing left uncertain in Thursday’s ruling was the impact of the ruling on legally married gays who now live in states that refuse to recognize any such marriage. A part of DOMA that deals with this point — Section 2, giving states permission not to recognize such a marriage performed in another state — was not at issue before the First Circuit.
