Good Blog About LGBT Immigration Issues

I found a great blog for reading about and sharing the stories and the nightmares that same-sex bi-national couples face:

As gay and lesbian Americans, many laws and rights do not apply to us, but this is especially so when it comes to immigrating our family members or loved ones. Once we are put in a position of having to choose between the love of our lives and the love of our country we are left with very few options. When the lack of immigration equality becomes apparent, what comes next is a dark road for many who choose to stay in the country---not knowing when the day will come when they are found out, their loved one deported, fined or put in jail. Many of us take our hopes, our money and our dreams and pack up and move in order to have some sense of normalcy. But, a simple task of returning home to visit our families for a special occasion can quickly become a nightmare when we are cruelly separated from our partners who are held or detained without reason. This site showcases our immigration nightmares as same-sex binational couples and reveals how our lives and the lives of our families are being outright and openly discriminated against on the federal level by the United States government. Same-sex binational couples deserve immediate remedy and restitution for the deliberate pain and suffering caused by psychological abuse and undue hardships caused by our lack of immigration equality in US immigration law and policy. We will be happy just to have our lives back.
