: Greg Siskind's BlogCALIFORNIA LEGALIZES SAME SEX MARRIAGE, BUT COUPLES MUST WAIT FOR IMMIGRATION EQUALITY
By Greg Siskind
Even though a number of US states have recognized same sex marriages and civil unions - California today becoming the latest - immigration equality is still a long way off. That's because the Defense of Marriage Act - an unjust relic of the 90s - forbids the federal government from conferring any benefits to same sex couples. Also, it's about time Congress passed the Uniting American Families Act which would establish immigration equality. For information on this bill, go to the web site of Immigration Equality, a human rights group doing important advocacy work in this area. I've written an article that discusses what alternative strategies a couple may pursue to stay together in the US.
