For most gay couples, missing out on such federal rights is a small setback in a much larger victory. But for binational couples like Sissi and Janet, it doesn’t solve the single biggest problem they face: the need for a green card. The right that matters most to them—the right to sponsor a spouse for immigration benefits—happens at the federal levelDOMA must be repealed, and this injustice must be revoked. And for now on, whenever anyone advocates an amendment to a constitution (state or federal) stating, "Marriage is between a man and a woman," we should all insist that it includes a final phrase:
"for life, no exceptions."
It's easy to defend marriage against made-up demons based on ignorant bigotry; let's see them defend it against themselves.
No more Mr. Nice Gay.
