I find it ridiculous that all of you are sitting here saying that you are "fighting for your dream" and at the same time saying you do not support the progression of lgbt rights. I understand that this could put the whole proposition at risk, but there are a lot of lgbt immigrants out there that even after being daca approved or even getting their green cards will have little to show if they are not given the same rights as heterosexual couples.

I, for example, am in a long term relationship with my partner and are currently relying on my daca approval to decide whether to stay in this country or not. If I get denied, we are packing out bags and moving back to Mexico, the country I have not been to since I left it almost 20 years ago. I don't have family there and I don't know anything about the culture (mainly because my family disowned me after coming out), but we are willing to start over just so we can have an opportunity at a life where I can get any job I want, we can get married, and most importantly, we are able to adopt and start our own family (because, guess what... God has a sense of humor and not only made us both gay women, but also unable to have children).

With all that said, some of you seriously need to reconsider what your argument is for this battle, I'm not saying change your mind, but just think that out there somewhere, being approved for daca or even seeing this new proposition go through is only the beginning of life long struggles for some of us. We're not fortunate white people who all got our parents old cars the day we turned 16, but shy scared teens and adults living under the radar having always having to avoid questions like "why don't you go to college?" or "why don't you have a car?"
