Watch this video from Immigration Equality… It had me in tears, but maybe that’s because I can relate. I’m married to a Canadian, eh?
The Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) is a descriminatory law. I denies all federal recognition of legally married, same sex couples. Among those rights is petitioning for residency for a foreign born spouse.
DOMA has been found unconstitutional in a number of federal courts – it will probably be heard by the Supreme Court as soon as next year. Let’s hope the conservative Justices look past their party’s ideology and do away with this law. As they say in the video, “DOMA sucks!”
