DESCRIPTION:United by Love, Divided by Law: How DOMA Impacts Same-Sex Binational 
 Couples\n\nDOMA – the Defense of Marriage Act, that was signed into law 
 by President Clinton in 1996, has impacted the everyday lives of many LGBT 
 Americans! The panel today will lead a discussion on the immigration 
 repercussions of DOMA, and how it impacts the lives of same sex binational 
 couples and their families in their ability to stay together in this 
 country. \n\nNow that President Obama and his administration has declared 
 that they will not be defending DOMA in court and have indicated that they 
 think DOMA section (3) is unconstitutional, how does this impact same sex 
 binational couples and their efforts to get congress to support equal 
 immigration rights for same sex couples? At the same time, there are 
 several bills that have been introduced in Congress that would rectify the 
 situation. These bills are the (1) Uniting American Families Act, and the 
 (2) Reuniting Families Act, as well as the much anticipated Comprehensive 
 Immigration Reform which will include LGBT Families.\n\nJoin 
 Out4Immigration, Attorney Lavi Soloway (Stop The Deportations Project), 
 Attorney Ilona Turner (National Center for Lesbian Rights), Judy Rickard 
 (Author, Torn Apart) and hear stories from Same-Sex Binational Couples as 
 they discuss this very important topic!\n
