Session II: Saturday 2:15-3:15 pm
ACTIVISM & POLITICS: "Love Knows No
Borders"
Under current U.S. law, American citizens are not
allowed to sponsor their foreign same-sex partners for residency. Hear
stories of same-sex binational couples; get informed about where the
U.S. stands on this issue; hear what policies other countries have in
place for keeping couples together.
Presenters: Chris Haiss is the co-chair of Immigration Equality, an
LA-based organization that addresses the widespread discriminatory
impact of immigration law on the lives of lesbians, gays, and people
living with HIV/AIDS. Other members of Immigration Equality, Sophie
Fanelli, Jeffrey Seungkyu Kim, and Tim Miller, will join Chris Haiss on
this panel.
Room: Ucen Lobero
