A child born abroad (out of wedlock) to a US citizen father is a US citizen, but there are a bunch of requirements to check off.

I read further. The requirement NOT being checked off is that the father must have lived in the USA for at least five years for citizenship to be transmissible by blood with one citizen parent.

These jokers want the law for a child born to two married USC parents to apply.

The issue is not one of discrimination, the issue is that the law requires a biological relationship in this case, which only one of them has.

I think you missed the part that states that the biological father is not a citizen, just merely same-sex married to the naturalized US citizen. They appear to have deliberately used an innocent child to try to force a change to US law.
