Hey Americans on my flist (and others too, really),

Unless you're a raging homophobe, which I'm assuming you're most likely not, LOL, please go check out this petition here:

http://immigration.change.org/actions/view/special_visa_for_binational_lgbt_spouse-perma-partners

and perhaps first read the original article here:

It's to do with the outdated American immigration law which prohibits same-sex couples from sponsoring each other for a green card. Needless to say, this is pretty close to my heart, and I think it's downright criminal that a supposedly free country would willingly impose such suffering on a significant number of its citizens.

I also don't think it is remotely Christian to oppose same-sex immigration or same-sex anything, really - and I'll say what I always say about things like this; if you think about it, Jesus would probably have been first to take up for oppressed groups like this. Because he was cool like that.

So, if you so wish, please sign this petition / spread the word / eat cookies?

Thanks!
