Council Supports Bill Giving Equal Immigration Rights To Same-Sex Couple


Next week the D.C. Council will discuss a resolution showing support of the Uniting American Families Act pending in Congress.

Councilman At-Large David Catania authored the resolution last week, and the other 12 members of the council co-introduced it.

U.S. immigration law does not allow same-sex citizens and permanent residents to sponsor foreign-born partners for immigration benefits.

It's been voted on by the residents of Washington DC. Now, hopefully we can start legalizing marijuana, since that also passed a referendum(be it nearly 30 years ago, it would still pass today).

5:51 I agree! I'm tired of having gay rights stuff shoved down our throats all the time! The Bible says marriage is the union between a man and woman and homosexuality is a sin so I don't understand how this can happen. Why can't we straight people have the right to our own opinion? What is worse is gays adopting children and screwing up their innocent lives. What is this world coming to? People have no morals anymore and the slogan is if it feels good, do it! Transexuals who get gender changes are a disgrace to society and I feel they are mocking God. I don't know what is to become of America for future generations. Our founding fathers are turning over in their graves at all the dysfunction in our country.

Since when does what the law says matter to any elected official. They all do as they please. The law only applies to ' Joe the plumber' types.
