It’s official – binational same sex couples now have a way to avoid deportation once and for all. Just get married. The Advocate reports:
Following the lead of the Department of Homeland Security, Secretary of State John Kerry announced Friday that the U.S. State Department will immediately begin offering visas to married same-sex couples in the same fashion it does to married opposite-sex couples. Kerry made the announcement at the U.S. Embassy in London Friday morning, citing the recent landmark rulings from the Supreme Court in support of marriage equality. “One of our most important exports by far is America’s belief in the equality of all people,” said Kerry. “Now, our history shows that we haven’t always gotten it right.”
It’s refreshing to see something so devastating to so many couples finally settled definitively in their favor, isn’t it?
