I just got that out of a Love Exiles press release. On February 1st, Barack Obama said he doesn’t think it sounds fair that US gays and lesbians with foreign partners cannot live in their own country. Obama said it in a conversation with Love Exile Robert Bragar, during a reception of the Democratic Party in Washington, D.C.
I guess we have to take the crumbs thrown our way here and there. A comment published on the January 30 of The Advocate nailed it on the head: "Democrats know we have nowhere else to go. They can count on our vote without having to actually deliver."
Currently, 17 countries allow gays to sponsor their partners or spouses for immigration purposes: Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Israel, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, South Africa, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom.
