Trump bans gay Visa's |
"According to the United Nations memo, which was dated Sept. 13, the State Department has not issued G-4 family visas to heterosexual domestic partners since 2009."

Red-neck rousing propoganda publicity stunt ?
a marriage is old french term for(together) which is assumed by countrys to mean non bindingly accepted nationalised licensed personal relationship between 2 or more people ... in some countrys a 40 year old man can be legally married to a 10 year old girl. it would be interesting to see if the USA bloodymindedly held to its projection of implied morality in terms by acceptance of nationalised license. do they make a point about that ? not if it challenges their religous conservative discrimination against same sex couples i should imagine. it is just another example of attempting to excite the radical extremist part of society.
Who said all foreign legal marriages are respected by the US? Can you cite a source on that? O_o
Yes, we have laws that protect minors. Is that a bad thing? O_o The Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the US Constitution guarantee equal protection under the law...meaning that special exemptions based on things like orientation are illegal. So they cannot legally grant visas to homosexual domestic partners without also granting them to heterosexual domestic partners. And granting visas to individuals unrelated to diplomats can be a security concern. Get your head out of your ass.

Imploring you to look beyond your obviously myopic biases makes you feel "fear and paranoia"? O_o Wait, of course it would, because your view of reality is a delicate little self-deception always on the verge of collapse when faced with facts. Or do you just not realize what "instill" ("instal" [sic]) means, and the admission it implies? Oh, I've had you on ignore for several years, buddy. You're more than welcome to return the favor. Might help insulate your little bubble. (Oct 3, 2018 05:47 AM)RainbowUnicorn Wrote: Trump bans gay Visa's That's just false. The United States recognizes foreign same-sex marriages as equivalent to heterosexual marriages for purposes of granting K-3 spousal non-resident visas for regular people and G-4 spousal visas for diplomats. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/...-nato.html https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/...e-k-3.html The BBC even acknowledges that diplomats' G-4 visa provisions contain an added bonus provision: "The only exception, however, would be same-sex partners of officials coming from countries that do not recognise same-sex marriage. They will be granted a diplomatic visa if the government which sends them to work in their embassies in the US grants the same privileges to same-sex partners of US officials sent to that oountry." So... the issue here is whether the US should recognize foreign diplomats' unmarried sex-partners from countries that refuse to recognize American diplomats' unmarried sex-partners. Some gay-activist group at the UN shrieks: ""Couples already inside of the United States could go to city hall and get married. But they could potentially be exposed to prosecution if they return to a country that criminalises homosexuality or same-sex marriages." But... wouldn't a foreign diplomat's unmarried same-sex partner receiving a G-4 spousal visa in the US 'out' both of them as homosexual and expose them to prosecution in their home country if homosexuality is illegal there?

It's fake news that Trump has banned gay visas.
Your quote even says that it just removes the special treatment for same-sex domestic partners (not married), e.g. "the State Department is enforcing parity in the way they recognize opposite-sex partnerships and same-sex partnerships". "Parity" is equal treatment, not a ban on gay visas. (Oct 4, 2018 01:56 AM)RainbowUnicorn Wrote: no marriage license no partner status ... What gender discrimination? It's not the responsibility of the US to make up for the laws of foreign countries. It is the responsibility of the US to apply its own laws equally.
