This Thursday is the Democratic LGBTQ debate, and you can submit questions you'd like to see asked here. I have about like nine gazillion questions I'd like to ask, but this is the one I submitted, because I thought it was the least likely to have already been suggested:
Five years ago, my husband and I were married after he immigrated to America on a fiancée visa. The wonderful life we share, however, would have been denied to us if we had been the same sex, though our love is no different, no better, our desire to be together, no less strong than that of our gay friends. Can you tell me if you would support immigration reform to acknowledge our equality and allow same-sex couples the same happiness my husband and I have?
I really hope this question gets asked, because I suspect immigration reform may be the easiest road in to federal marriage legislation. It's one of those things the Dems can pass without much fanfare, which would summarily expose the lunacy of a state-by-state marriage solution. Would only people in Massachusetts be allowed to take advantage of the federal law? You see where I'm going with this…
