发帖数: 4174 | 1 May could become an even more spectacular month for marriage equality: The
sponsor of the Illinois bill predicts it will pass by the month’s end,
which is also the end of the legislative session.
Rep. Greg Harris, the chief sponsor, said he will “absolutely” call a vote
on the marriage equality bill by May 31, and “it’s going to win,”
Chicago’s Windy City Times reports. Harris has previously said he would not
bring the measure to a vote in the House of Representatives unless he was
sure there was enough support to pass it. The state Senate approved it
Valentine’s Day, and Gov. Pat Quinn has vowed to sign it.
The bill picked up an endorsement today from former president Bill Clinton,
who issued a statement invoking another president. “Since the days of
Abraham Lincoln, Illinois has stood for the proposition that all citizens
should be treated equally under the law,” President Clinton said in Tuesday
’s statement. “Lincoln himself came to Springfield in search of
opportunity, and he dedicated his life to securing equal opportunity for all
citizens. I believe that for Illinois and for our nation as a whole, in the
21st century that must include marriage equality.”
Several other supporters of the bill have predicted it would pass by May 31,
according to Windy City Times. If this happens, Illinois will join three
other states — Rhode Island, Delaware, and Minnesota — that have approved
marriage equality in the past few weeks. Twelve states plus the District of
Columbia offer marriage rights to same-sex couples. |

发帖数: 4174 | 5 我不相信移民新法案会特别说明同性配偶不适用于异性婚姻同等的对待，如果是这样的
话不可能通过的。应该只是没提同性配偶适用于异性婚姻同等的对待，DOMA废除了，自
然就和异性配偶一样。Relax, 现在是放下包袱，Stop being skeptical的时候了。

发帖数: 456 | 6 有人针对参议院司法委员会八人帮的移民方案提出要增加同性公民外籍配偶的移民权，
被共和党否了。即使没被否决，指着这个移民方案，那是水中月镜中花还不知道猴年马
月才能通过呢。眼前高院的判决就要下来了，推翻了DOMA，移民权立刻就拿到了。

DOMA废除以后，同性婚姻就是first class婚姻了，与异性婚姻没有区别了，不会不让
移民的。

发帖数: 24887 | 8 感觉白宫和很多民主党政客的意思是：为了确保两党能维持目前在综合移民改革议题上
“来之不易”的“共识”，就不要“强加”关于gay couple移民权利的增补了，否则共
和党就要“翻脸”。另外，都暗示等待联邦高院解决这个问题。
。。。。。。。
感到很可悲。。。。。。。。 |
