He wants to find a woman to fall deeply in love with him and trick her into marrying him so he can get his legal papers. It hurts me that I can't do nothing about it and I can't help him in any way because I'm a man and I'm not a woman. We were together for 3 and 1/2 years. We've been through so much and to see that gay can't have rights just like str8 couples, makes me furious. I feel like if I'm a tax paying citizen, we should be granted the same amount of rights like everyone else. If it happens that me and my ex doesn't get back together, I still want to be a big help to everyone else that's in a relationship with anyone from another country. We can't help who we fall in love with!!

But so far the USA is like a third world country. Of course what would you expect when we just got rid of a third world dictator and his entourage. (name begins with B, 4 letters, but extreme profanity is not allowed here.

I was not aware of this bill. I am in a committed relationship with someone from Canada and we are having a difficult time trying to be together. It is expensive and stressful. What can we do as American citizens to give this bill legs in the communities? Please keep me posted as to what happens to this legislation.

After all, it granted gay marriage without any distinction. I would have like the article to mention Spain as it is the 3rd country in the world to fully accept glbt people.

Deserved better. Bob - there area already laws about bringing *just* family members with foreign citizenship to the US - and the back log is between 13, and 20 years (yes years) to process. :( I'm able to claim EU citizenship, though I never have due to financial reasons (taxes mostly), but I think I probably will, just to give me an option of living in a place where I have all the same rights as anyone else. (Even if it's only part of the EU). Strait people don't realize what they do to people or families with all this crap. All about family values - but soooo many families have been ripped apart. Hugs to all of you who have been through this. JGF – I am sorry to hear about your partner. Deserved better.

If this bill doesn't pass soon, we'll be obligated to sell everything and go somewere else. America is not treating their gay sons and doughters fairly. The only thing we can do for now is to mobilize ourselves and act to help this bill pass. Good luck everyone!

They could just limit the number (say 2). This would take out the same-sex aspect that is so distasteful to a lot of folks. This would solve a lot of the hardship for international couples.
