I signed up on Twitter few weeks ago and it's been a great way to get information on different things. I follow few friends, actors, musicians, movie stars, TV channels and gay advocate groups both in Europe and in USA. The 2 major ones in USA, HRC and Immigration equality post news almost everyday, whether progress or step backs. Immigration Equality is fighting for bi-national lesbian and gay couples in which one partner is american and the other from somewhere else. Today they posted that US immigration services are now accepting green card applications for the foreign partners of gay americans.
As happy as I am about this, it's great for the thousands of couples out there afraid of that one of them is gonna be deported, it's also a very bitter sweet moment for me. Why couldn't they have had this in place 8 months ago when we needed it? And as I'm thinking about it I realize that I'm not as far removed from all those feelings as I thought I was. I'm happy and I am sad.
Bittersweet.
