STRUGGLE: Gregory and Guillermo, a Gay Bi-National Couple, Chronicle Their Immigration Battle

Greg_guille
Gregory and a Guillermo are a gay bi-national couple chronicling the immigration challenges they face, in a project called The Other Half of the Orange.


Here's their first video, which deals with a forced separation in Sweden after Guillermo was denied a visa to come back into the U.S.


Writes Gregory: "He'd been approved for an O-1 by the dept of homeland security here in the states, but the next step is to re-enter the country and have this validated. His lawyer advised he go through a western European country (as the embassy in his home country of Colombia has a bad rep for mistreating Colombians) but this was a huge mistake. They look down on that, and he wasn't gven the visa. Had our partnership been validated federally, considering that hetero Americans can secure a visa for their fiances(!), this would not have been as long and painful as it has".

ORDERED: Colombia court demands same-sex Marriage by 2013!

Gay Colombians have two years to wait for gay marriage or another similar type of union, after their Constitutional Court ruled that marriage equality should exist.

The court decided on July 26 to give the legislature until June 20, 2013 to create an equivalent to same-sex couples who want to get married. If no decision is made by then, gay couples can go to any notary public or judge to formalize their union, reports the Constitutional Court of Colombia in a release written in Spanish.
