The time has come to end discrimination against bi-national, same-sex couples caused by the so-called Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA).
While the administration has taken steps to prevent deporting foreign same-sex spouses already in the US, thousands more who were already deported or had met abroad are being denied the right to live together in this country.
The Executive branch has the power to grant humanitarian parole to foreign nationals. There is precedent: In June 2010, DHS Sec. Napolitano did just that to reunite Genesio Oliveira Jr. (Brazilian) with his husband, Tim Coco (American), after a 3-year separation.
Bi-national gay couples are being harmed every day by a cruel, forced separation. We need an advocate to fight with us.
