Despite advances at the state level, same-sex spouses were nothing more than strangers to each other in the eyes of the federal government. One group that has suffered these harsh repercussions is gay and lesbian Americans with foreign spouses.

Legislators in three states are preparing marriage equality bills. The Congressional Hispanic Caucus included protections for binational same-sex couples in its guidelines for immigration reform. And in March the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in two marriage cases.

On Monday a coalition of organizations sent a letter to President Obama urging the administration to hold, rather than deny, applications from same-sex binational couples for lawful permanent residence that would be approvable but for DOMA, pending a decision from the Supreme Court.

All I want for Christmas is for the Supreme Court to strike down DOMA and make federally recognized same-sex marriage the law of the land. If it does not strike down DOMA, then I would like heterosexuals to lose the special rights that they have gained through marriage.
