Gays and Immigration

Just to revisit immigration, the Uniting American Families Act -- which would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to eliminate discrimination by allowing the same-sex partners of U.S. citizens and legal residents to gain lawful resident status -- has 10 Senate cosponsors, none of whom bare the last name Clinton or Obama according the Library of Congress's Thomas website. Sen. Ted Kennedy, who just recently endorsed Obama, is one of those cosponsors.

The bill was originally sponsored by Sen. Patrick Leahy in the Senate and Rep. Jerrold Nadler in the House, where it has 87 cosponsors.
