DESCRIPTION:On July 13th 2011 in San Francisco, Alex Benshimol and Doug Gentry, a 
 married California couple, will face every same-sex binational couple’s 
 worst nightmare: a deportation hearing. As anyone following this issue 
 knows, for years there has been little hope for same-sex binational couples 
 seeking to reside together in the US. Many are legally married like Alex 
 and Doug, but are still treated as legal strangers in the eyes of our own 
 government.\n\nOut4Immigration is co-organizing this event with Marriage 
 Equality USA (MEUSA), Stop The Deportations & GetEQUAL on July 13th, the 
 day after the library event in support of Doug & Alex as they head into the 
 immigration courts to have their deportation hearing. \n\nFor more 
 information about Doug & Alex - you can read their story here:

 \n\nDoug and Alex are also featured in our change.org petition this week!
