LGBTQ+ families receive some good news, but trouble lies ahead.
It’s not clear how far of a reach the government’s possible reversal on the immigration code’s application to same-sex couples will be. Check out this article by Ellen Trachman!
Excerpt - “Loyal readers know that this column has closely followed the multiple shocking immigration cases where children born to American same-sex couples were nevertheless denied U.S. citizenship. For at least four families that brought suit against the government — represented by the nonprofit legal group Immigration Equality, as well as Lambda Legal and other pro bono counsel — the government has insisted on applying the section of the immigration code applicable to “unwed” parents, despite the parents being legally wed. What was the difference between these couples and others that had no issues? Only that these couples were gay and used assisted reproductive technology.”
