Gay families and Barack Obama’s America
In his latest blog entry – at The Huffington Post – Pete writes, “I live in 2008, in Barack Obama’s America. It is a post-everything world but the laws of the land haven’t caught up with the people. All the characters in this little intro worked hard to get Obama elected. All the characters in this story are hard-working people, strong parents, loving and kind members of their communities. How ridiculous is it that our Brooklyn friends went out of state to get married but are recognized as married by their state, which won’t let them get married, while our New Jersey lesbian friends can’t be recognized and our New Jersey gay male Canadian guy can’t get a green card because he lives one state away from New York and two states away from Connecticut?”
