Lesbian couple credited with federal law leaves US

Bay Area Reporter's Matthew Bajko spoke with Judy Rickard & Karin Bogliolo as they were in transit in Denver en route to leave the country to live in Exile. You can read the entire article here.

Everyday we hear stories of same sex binational couples being faced with the choice of choosing between love and country, being forced to leave the country to live in exile because their options have run out. The Uniting American Families Act as well as a INCLUSIVE comprehensive immigration reform bill will change that injustice. It will allow LGBT Americans to sponsor their partner for a green card.

Can you help us get more support for this issue?

If you want to do more, here are some other ways you could help us get more co-sponsors:
