Mr. President, with great respect, I am mentioning this during the holiday season because this time for many is fraught with sadness, fear and pain. Exiled Americans, who are with their spouses, cannot come home to spend Xmas with extended families and if they do, they have to leave spouses abroad. Tens of thousands of same sex couples are unable to spend these holidays together because they are stuck in different countries. These families cannot wait any longer. Our binational spouses and partners are being turned away at US airports, even as I write these words, at the arbitrary instance of an ICE officer....

Dear Mr. President, I was very optimistic to hear your speech to the LGBT today. It gave me hope and pride to hear for the very first time my President make such statements that would directly affect me. Everything you said, directly affects me and my family. I know that there is much to be done and I know that we may seem to be impatient, we are so because these issues affect so many so directly. Ant at this time we do see hope where there was no hope before. I know that it will take time, but so much that needs to be done to bring forward the issues of civil liberties and equality and right the wrongs of the past. The Uniting American Families Act, the reversal of The Defense Of Marriage Act, the reversal of Don't Ask Don't Tell, are just a few of these very issues that need to have Executive attention. Some of theses inhibit my rights and civil liberties directly, that is

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 need your organization's letter of support for the Uniting American Families Act by Monday!
I hope you are doing well. Please accept my apologies for this mass email. Same sex binational couple's immigration is one of the many issues that I have been working on for the past 10 years.... it will be 10 years to the day on 31st of May when I was finally able to land in the US of A to be with my husband after spending 4 years apart in 2 different countries.
This year, I feel that we are finally at a tipping point and the bill is finally getting some traction. Sen Leahy is going to be holding a hearing about this bill next week and Rep Mike Honda is going to reintroduce the Reunite Families Act which will include language of UAFA in the bill. We are also hoping that when Comprehensive Immigration Reform is introduced next month, LGBT Families will be included u

Mayor JW Lown Lacking Basic Rights (LETTER)

LETTER: Rights lacking Reading through the responses that were published from readers about the resignation of Mayor J.W. Lown, it’s obvious that many people have a high opinion of him and are sorry to see him leave. Another thread that runs through the comments were more along the lines of: “He’s ditching a relationship with our community for a relationship of two months?”
Under U.S. law, Americans in same-sex relationships with people from another country have no legal grounds to be with that partner on the basis of the relationship alone. Indeed, federal law treats those of us in such relationships as legal strangers, with no legitimate basis to be together.
Comment: Oh brother....... so now the excuse of love will be used to skirt immigration laws........what next......???? It is bad enough that we allow married heterosexual illegal aliens to live here. D

SLIDESHOW. The passing of UAFA will afford us dignity and respect as a couple and bring to an end nine years of severe emotional hardship.
This historic event is to be webcast! I will drag myself out of bed at 2am out here in New Zealand, make a large pot of coffee and phone Cas. "Together" we will BE THERE for this event! I would not miss it for the world. Sadly our upcoming reconciliation will not occur soon enough to allow us to share this event in person.
