Hi everyone

If you are gay, and even if you aren't everyone should support the Immigration equality org.

Everyone here knows that I have been in a no win war with the US State department to get my lover back into the USA. Well there is a bill that would make it very easy! The Uniting American Families Act ("UAFA" and formerly the Permanent Partners Immigration Act or "PPIA")

Write your congressman and senator. I just did and also gave money to.
Thanks
Roy

Binational same-sex partnerships are comprised of lesbian and gay couples where one partner is a US citizen or permanent resident, and the other is a foreign national. The 2000 US Census estimated that almost 40,000 such couples, or over 70,000 people, lived together in the United States.
Their relationships have no recognition in federal law.
The estimated 40,000 Binational same sex couples in the 2000 US census do not include couples who avoid the census out of fear. They do not count couples who are forced to live apart, in different countries.
