Members of LGBT Community Fear Exclusion From President Obama's Immigration Order

Just what defines a parent and a marriage? asked Caroline Dessert, a self-described "queer Latina" from El Centro, Calif., who is also executive director of Immigration Equality.

If it's DNA and a municipal marriage certificate, Dessert pointed out that would leave out roughly 267,000 undocumented members of the LGBT community who could likely be excluded from Obama's intended relief. While the order is a "historic moment," she said, "once again, it appears as though the LGBT community has been excluded from a law designed to protect vulnerable people."

"If family relationships through marriage, or blood, is the only way that you can seek deferred action, or you can seek recognition or seek to come into status, " said Kate Kendall, with the San Francisco-based National Center for Lesbian Rights - another group worried about the same issues. "That will leave out tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands of LGBT families."

Personally, I favor equality in this instance.

Straight, Gay, or Transgendered - if you are in this country illegally, then you should be deported immediately.

Updated by the Ministry of Truth:


“Give me your tired, your poor,

your bi-sexual, tri-sexual and een your trans-gendered,

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me:

I lift my lamp beside the golden door.”


― Emma Lazarus

“”That will leave out tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands of LGBT families.”

I don’t see the problem.

This is BS, the LGBT already have special treatment. What they are complaining about is that they have to take the regular test to become a citizen and it is difficult for those who are illiterate. I saw a lesbian couple trying to study for it on line in a coffee shop. It was obvious that only one of them could read. .

Ou puhleeze....

FO

If you are here illegally then you are included, just like the rest of people.

Seems like you were treated equally but, you demand supra rights or special dispensation.

But, once again, your whole goal in life is to self objective and be known as a beast of sexual identity first and foremost.

So, I’ll go along with your delusions.

You are LGBT, first and foremost.

You don’t have a name, which your parents gave you.

You don’t have an interesting job.

You don’t have interests in extracurricular activities.

You aren’t known for your humor.

You don’t do anything interesting.

You don’t have anything in common with non LGBT’s.

You are gay, above all things.

Pound it up your nethers sideways and howl at the moon.

Frickin babies...

LGBTQ’s needn’t worry. Obama loves them, really loves them, even to the extent of flying the rainbow flag over the Israeli emassy.

"That will leave out tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands of LGBT families."

While you're spinning away, why not claim that BILLIONS of happily shacked-up gay couples and their well-adjusted kiddies will miss this particular gravy train?

What do you mean, “community”?

Using that word confers a sort of legitimacy to these perverts.

The protected class is still bitching and moaning. It will never stop no matter how much they are given or take.
