Uniting American Families Act is legislation pending before Congress to place same-sex couples in legally recognized relationships on an equal footing with heterosexual married couples for the purposes of immigration. ...Under current law, and unlike heterosexual married couples, American citizens and permanent residents in same-sex legally recognized relationships (including marriages, civil unions, and domestic partnerships) are barred from sponsoring their partners for permanent residency in the United States. Thousands of same-sex couples have been forced apart, or forced to move abroad, because of this legal inequity.
