This Just In: "The Senate Judiciary Committee will hold its first-ever hearing on The Uniting American Families Act (UAFA), a bill to end discrimination against lesbian and gay Americans in U.S. immigration law and allow lesbian and gay citizens to sponsor their partners for residency in the United States." The hearing is June 3. That's one small bit of good news for folks like Shirley Tan. [Immigration Equality]

I read the story at Immigration Equality dot org several days ago. The current word is the committee has lots of personal stories and are mainly interested in hearing from the various organizations involved like Immigrationequality.org and out4immigration.com, ACLU, LAMBDA legal, and some others. This committee has plenty of stories and letters in their offices. I myself have written truck loads of letters as well as the many other bi-national couples have also done the same. This hearing is a very big deal since the various organizations have been trying to get a hearing for 10 years!
Senator Leahy is the Senator that not only made this hearing happen but also authored the Senate version of UAFA. Representative Nadler authored the congressional version of the UAFA.
I would be more than happy to go tell our story in Washington if they were interested in people like us attending.
Cool.
*crosses fingers*
This would be a very nice thing.
