I have known this to be the case, and it is not right. Immigration visas should available to all couples married under state law, regardless of whether they are homosexual or heterosexual.

Donna, I'm still looking into what to do with the info.

Congress has already passed the DOMA law (Defense of Marriage Act) which was signed by Clinton in the '90s and defines Marriage as being an act between a man and a woman.

It is surprising how many people, including even gays in New York, who are not aware of the fact that they could not get a visa for their partner if he/she were a foreigner. One friend has proposed that I work with www.immigrationequality.org on these results - and getting the word out further

Will you be sending this to congress once the poll has ended?
