The Obama Administration has denied the request of a married couple in San Francisco, ordering the expulsion of one spouse who is the primary caregiver of his legally married husband with AIDS.
Team Obama is incapable of valuing our actual relationships, while making pretty speeches about DOMAs unconstitutionality.
Mr Wells states his case plainly:

Team Obama is incapable of valuing our actual relationships, while making pretty speeches about DOMAs unconstitutionality.
Bradford Wells, a U.S. citizen, and Anthony John Makk, a citizen of Australia, were married seven years ago in Massachusetts. They have lived together 19 years, mostly in an apartment in the Castro district. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services denied Makks application to be considered for permanent residency as a spouse of an American citizen, citing the 1996 law that denies all federal benefits to same-sex couples.
Mr Wells states his case plainly:
Im married just like any other married person in this country, Wells said. At this point, the government can come in and take my husband and deport him. Its infuriating. Its upsetting. I have no power, no right to keep my husband in this country. I love this country, I live here, I pay taxes and I have no right to share my home with the person I married.
