The House GOP wants to separate bi-national gay couples:
House Republicans will intervene in a lawsuit that would keep same-sex couples from being pulled apart — even separated to different countries — by immigration authorities under the Defense of Marriage Act, a spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner confirmed on Wednesday.
…
Yet DOMA is a federal law that trumps legal same-sex marriages in the states, including in immigration matters. House Republicans are defending it in a number of challenges, but told advocacy group Immigration Equality on Friday that they would step in to defend DOMA against the organization’s suit about binational same-sex couples.
Funny, when it comes to making sure folks can have access to healthcare, they’re all “tyranny!” and “state’s rights!”. But screwing over some gay people, totally fine.
