Immigration rights - For Indian gay and lesbian couples, immigration is a vital area in the push for gay rights. Presently, they face difficulties in making career moves because of limitations regarding the visas they can obtain for their partners. SALGA points out there is a disgraceful prejudice in denying people immigration equality on the basis of sexual orientation.
"We are hoping that legalising gay marriages will allow same-sex couples to file for visas like straight couples," said Sooklall. He added that SALGA receives pleas for help from its own members and from gays and lesbians living in South Asia. "I know two cases where people did get asylum," said Sooklall.
Britain, Canada, South Africa and most west European countries have immigration policies that recognise same sex couples, but there has been no change to American immigration laws for gay coup

Immigration Equality On The HIV Ban. An update from Victoria Nelson: I’m not trying to make excuses for HHS. I’m frustrated too. Every day I try to answer the question, “when will the ban be lifted?” for other lawyers and individuals affected by the ban and I hate not having a definite answer. Everything we’re hearing is that the proposed regulations will come out soon and that they will say what we want them to say. It’s hard to fight an agency that we believe is on our side. On the other hand, there are real people who are suffering under this ban every day, unable to visit loved ones, and counting the expiring days on their non-immigrant visas hoping that they can file for permanent residence before the clock runs out. The honeymoon is coming to ...
Jeff Sessions Annoyed By Crying Child (Politics Daily)

Republican Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama was openly disdainful of a12-year-old boy who wept throughout a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing this week on the Uniting American Families Act, which would give equal citizenship rights to the foreign-born same-sex partners of American citizens. Sessions opposes the bill.
The committee was hearing from Shirley Tan, a Filipino woman who had fled her country after being physically attacked by a man who had killed her mother and sister. Tan and her American partner of 23 years are raising 12-year-old twin sons here, but she was almost deported in April, and has been granted only a temporary reprieve.
As Tan began to speak, one of her sons, who was seated behind her, began to cry, and Sessions, who "leaned towards one of his aides and sighed, "Enough with the histrionics."
Which was a little out there even

The gay rights bill you do not know about (Dailykos)

This might be one of those bills that ultimately goes nowhere or it may fundamentally change the course of both the gay marriage and immigration debates. Follow me below the fold for more on this bill. As it stands, this loving couple might be split forever if the wingnuts have their way..
The Advocate article mentions that three or four couples who have been split apart or who might be spit will likely testify Wednesday. Even if there are only a few cases, that is still a few cases too many. This is not gay marriage, but it is an important right that is denied to gay and lesbian couples.
One potentially strong argument that our opponents will make is "what about fraud?" In other words, unmarried people could sponsor someone of the same gender just by claiming to be gay/lesbian and claiming to be in love. UAFA provides for the same penalties as the rest of the
