Just like Rhode Island, the federal government wants to give dead people more rights than the living! Except under President Obama, it's straight dead people who have the most rights. From now on, the government will stop deporting foreigners who married an American should that American die. For gay couples consisting of a foreigner and an American? Yeah, you're still gonna get split up. Happy day!

Queerty, you're sometimes unfairly harsh to Obama. but *not* in this case. this is bad.
What does Ms Maddow have against Nuclear Energy?
While the Obama administration's opinion is disheartening, but it is heartening to see Rachel Maddow keep hammering on the issue. She and her posse (Ana Marie Cox, et al), really do have the ability to get the word out and put the pressure we need on the Obama administration.
I dont think were being harsh enough on this issue. Being in a binational gay relationship is stressful beyond belief.
I did think that President Obama would stand up for us but our 'fierce advocate' as he likes to call himself is just lip service at best.
After too many years of stress and heart ache my partner and I are moving to Toronto, Canada where you are ACTUALLY treated equally under the law. Neither one of us have any desire to come back until were treated equally.
It breaks my heart to say this but to me President Obama's new slogan for the GLBT community is:
Yes we CAN….but we WONT!
@LoveMoby: I'm really sorry you're being forced to move, LoveMoby (though Toronto is really nice, if bonebendingly cold). I hope you find happiness up north.
@Alex: Thank you much for your kind words Alex. I really appreciate it. Would be nice if we didnt have to move but since that isnt to be as yet, I'm sure we'll enjoy Toronto.
My first real experience with the inequities of American policy toward gay people was when I was in fifth grade. My teacher's long-term partner was forced to return to Australia after her visa expired. It was awful, but she was eventually able to return to the U.S.
I only knew this because my mother was a teacher at the school and told me about it because she was totally pissed. So I learned two things: America's policy toward gays sucks, but my mom is cool with lesbians. It was a lose/win.
