Keep Queer Families Together
According to the 2000 census, nearly 36,000 same-sex couples are bi-national, their median age is 38 and almost 50% of them are raising children. Current U.S. immigration policies mean they live in fear of one partner being deported, the couple being fined or having to choose to live separately. The Uniting American Families Act would apply the same standards to same-sex couples that opposite-sex couples already enjoy when one partner wants to bring a foreign partner into the country. HRC has joined a coalition of 30+ organizations calling on Congress to include the provisions of UAFA in any immigration reform legislation.
