美60多名参众议员集体敦促奥巴马结束对同志家庭移民的歧视
Lawmakers urge end to gay immigration discriminationA group of 60 senators and representatives, led by U.S. Rep.Tammy Baldwin, D-Wisc., signed a letter urging President Barack Obamaand members of Congress to end discrimination against LGBT immigrant families.
The letter states, tens of thousands of binational families areeither already living separately, face imminent separation, or haveleft the U.S. entirely in order to remain together. This isunacceptable, and we believe comprehensive immigration reformlegislation must include a strong family reunification componentinclusive of LGBT families.

The current immigration law does not allow LGBT Americans to sponsor their partners mainly due to a lack of marriage recognition.
According to 2000 Census data compiled by the Williams Institute, a UCLA-based think tank that focuses on sexual orientation, more than 36,000 LGBT binational Americans would benefit by having the ability to sponsor their partners for residency. And almost half of those families 47 percent are raising children.
Until changes are made, the members of Congress contend the current situation is punishing families.
No one should be forced to choose between the person they love and the country they call home. the letter states. It is time that our immigration laws kept families together instead of tearing them apart.
Currently at least 20 countries, including Canada, the United Kingdom and Israel, allow citizens and legal residents to sponsor their same-sex partners for immigration purposes, according to the Williams Institute.

放心好了,同志基因产生几率还是极小,多数还是你们异性恋;从毁灭角度来说,因素太多了。比如异性恋基因里的好斗,引发的人种灭亡,人类历史上还少吗。记住一点,当年纳粹是把同志推进了集中营,予以毁灭,而异性恋呢--大都是蹲个旮旯里偷着乐呢。

jfding太多虑了,不管是在对同性恋宽容的西方,还是对同性恋残酷的穆斯林社会,同志的比例都基本一致。唯一不同的是,在西方,越来越多的同志敢于面对自我,敢于以真实面目出现。而在穆斯林社会,同志们还只能戴着假面具,伪装成异性恋去祸害一个又一个无辜的异性结婚,杯具啊! 坚决支持 :victory: I'm a dick.
