Great News for Gay Dreamies
 

Federal Judge Joseph Tauro has ruled that Section 3 of DOMA is unconstitutional saying that it "violates the equal protection principles embodied in the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment."

What this means is that the statute barring gay people from being able to sponsor their foreign partners for immigration purposes is no longer valid, which means that if you're gay and you are legally married, you will be eligible for a green card just like your heterosexual counterparts.

Fuck yeah.

Well hopefully by the time it goes to the Supreme Court in a couple years more states will have enacted same-sex marriage laws.

Re: Great News for Gay Dreamies
 

why don't you just find a person of the opposite sex and married them? and btw, this is how gays feel. they must married a member of the opposite sex so they can get a green card.

It will still be hard for gay couples to go trough the interview. Imagine them going to the interview and then simply get rejected for being gay.

[MOD EDIT: Learn to respect others please]
If you are straight, you already have this right. Why the fuck would you pretend to be gay?

great news i know gay dreamies that are engaged !

Re: Great News for Gay Dreamies
 

I'm gay and I don't care much for the marriage, like marriage itself, I believe if you love someone you will stay with them until that love is there HOWEVER if i was a us citizen and I was gay, I would like to have the right to marry just because I'm a citizen. I mean, if we can't legally marry, that means we don't have the same rights, which would mean we don't have the same responsibilities, so we should only pay a portion of the taxes that heterosexuals pay, etc. You know? It's either equal in everything or it isn't.

Re: Great News for Gay Dreamies
 

so how does this work exactly seening how gay marriage is illegal in most states? Works for those states in which it isn't I take it? What if the marriage was performed in another country (Mexico or Canada for example). Does it still apply?

this is good news but it seems like they've legislatively jumped the gun here.
