HRC, Gay Couples and Immigration

As so often in the past, the Human Rights Campaign finds a way to protect Democrats who oppose immigration equality – for b.s. reasons of the potential for "fraud" by gay couples. Why are gay couples more likely to be fraudulent in their immigration applications than straight ones? Amazingly, HRC didn’t even ask the Democrats about the Jesse Helms ban on HIV-positive immigrants or tourists. The questionnaire is also revealing. Notice how civil unions get prime billing – and civil marriage is way down the list. HRC’s long record of failing to back marriage equality in order to placate their Democratic pay-masters continues. How do we expect politicians to favor our equality if the Human Rights Campaign doesn’t have the courage to stand up for it?
