Same Sex Couples to be Allowed to Sponsor Visas
IMMIGRATION INSIGHTS: Now here is some good news, long-awaited. USCIS is accepting new immigration applications from same-sex couples, and is reviewing older cases to overturn past denials.

Fair is fair, everyone deserves equal treatment, and the right to choose who to love. Pass the word!
