The Uniting Families Act is a radical piece of legislation intended to allow fair immigration for same-sex couples. Read about the work they are doing on their website and get involved!
On March 16, the Washington Post published a short article talking about this very issue:

First Paragraph:
"THE UNITING American Families Act would allow gay and lesbian
Americans and permanent residents to sponsor their foreign-born
partners for legal residency in the United States. The bill,
introduced last month in the Senate by Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) and in
the House by Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), would add "permanent partner"
and "permanent partnership" after the words "spouse" and "marriage" in
relevant sections of the Immigration and Nationality Act. If passed,
it would right a gross unfairness. "
