We can help gay newcomers by welcoming them and by continuing our efforts to pass legislation that benefit us all. The Uniting American Families Act and the Respect for Marriage Act will allow binational couples and families to stay together in the United States. The repeal of "Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell" will keep gay immigrant soldiers fighting for their adopted country and eventually allow them to be proud and loyal citizens. ...

Catholic leaders in America have frequently presented themselves as defenders of immigrants against racism and xenophobia, but apparently this "defense" will only be provided so long as immigrants stick to the demands of Catholic dogma. Catholic leaders aren't interested in defending immigrants who are gay, so the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops will no longer support the Uniting American Families Act because it would treat gay couples just like married heterosexual couples.
I doubt that anti-gay bigots like Rodriguez and other Catholic bishops are completely ignorant of the fact that how they define marriage is not how marriage has been defined in every culture at every point in time. I doubt that they are ignorant of the different forms marriage has taken or of the fact that marriage today in America is very different from what marriage was a few decades or e

“The Uniting American Families Act” isn’t a special piece of legislation when it comes to immigration. It works within existing laws, extending mechanisms of proof of relationship for same-sex partners as well as the same penalties for lying about their relationship. In short, it doesn’t really “rock the immigration boat.” But the bill isn’t intended to address the lack of a humane and just immigration system.
