Jenny and Ottie are a loving couple of 19 years, mothers of grown children, who faced a dilemma no American family should have to face: keeping their family together.
Most families don’t have to turn to the media (video) to share their grief and anger in the hope of remaining in the country they call home.
After four years in the USA, Jenny and Ottie were forced to leave their home in Delaware for exile in the Netherlands, far from Jenny’s aging parents and siblings....

Talking to Americans along the route it was painfully clear that people know we are discriminated against by US immigration law, but they seem to accept that that is just the way things are. Only exiles I met along the way know the pain of exile and want to become active. But we need all of us to demand our rights....

Cracks in DOMA a new era of LGBT equality (Love Exiles)

So much has been going on in the last few weeks it’s making my head spin. June 3 Lin and I were in Washington for the historic Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the Uniting American Families Act, which would give LGBT families like ours access to immigration and end the exile of LGBT Americans.
For 10 years I’ve been hoping, waiting and looking forward to the day that I am a first-class citizen in my own country, just like I am in the Netherlands, my country of exile. That day is starting to dawn, and it’s about time. We are seeing cracks in the vintage Clinton-era 1995 Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA).
Ironicallly, Bill’s spouse Hillary Clinton blew the first hole in DOMA by...

What Michelle Obama Said About Love Exiles

I was lucky enough to shake Michelle Obama's hand as she left the hall. I thanked her for visiting our community, and told her how much it meant to us. I also asked her to think of us Americans who must live abroad because we have a foreign partner we cannot get a US visa for, and she looked me in the eye, and said, “We have to get you back home!”

AMSTERDAM - We had good hope with this Administration.But with the Administration’s motion to dismiss a Californian’s couple’s bid to get access to all their federal as well as State rights, we can feel the hurt. For a full coverage see AMERICAblog. This is very disappointing. But I am not discouraged. Our families are beautiful, our love is beautiful, we will get our rights. Let’s make sure the Admnistration knows we intend to be successful.
What Love Exiles Are Writing About Their Experience (Love Exiles)

Love exiles have been sharing stories since the UAFA hearing. A dominating theme is that we have chosen not to use fraud – pretend we are straight and marry someone of the opposite sex – but that for our good grace we are being punished. A predominate argument against UAFA, and sadly a position supported by Senator Feinstein, is that marriage fraud will increase. Read here what the resuolt of “doing the right thing’can lead to.
“We have been in Canada since 2005 and no offense to anyone else but...
I think its pretty clear: we have proven we do not do fraud, we are in exile. And we want the right to live with the rest of our families. that’s why I love this banner.

We have to be aware that we are now in a position to set the agenda. The Bush years are over. There is no longer a majority in favor of denying us our human rights. The religious right can speak out against UAFA, but they are losing ground. We have new allies, allies who have seldom spoken out in public on political issues, like the American Psychologists Association and the American Bar Association. We have allies in various US human rights organizations. We need to reach out to them for their support, people like the Rev. James A Forbes Jnr, and Breakthrough. I’m fired up.
