Therefore for same sex bi-national couples the passing of Uniting American Families Act or repeal of DOMA would bring us immigration equality for our foreign born partners.
So, what, former Vice President Dick Cheney is for gay marriage now? Actuall yes, but that's not news. Speaking at the National Press Club today, Cheney responded to a question about gay marriage, and said he wants same-sex unions to be decided at a state-by-state level, just as things are happening now, and not with the federal government deciding who gets to wed.
It should be assumed that Cheney's position stems at least in part from having a gay daughter, Mary.
But just because Cheney just made so explicit his stance on gay marriage doesn't mean we're actually hearing anything new. Cheney split from his boss George W. Bush when the then-president supported a constitutional amendment to limit marriage to one man and one woman.
