Anything To Put Barriers In Front Of Us

We are going to have to fight for every advance.

The Supreme Court ruling means nothing to this administration, they continue to put roadblocks in front of us.

A binational lesbian couple has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. State Department for failing to recognize their son as an American citizen.

Allison Blixt, an American, and Stefania Zaccari, an Italian, each became pregnant in 2014, using their own eggs and sperm from an unnamed donor. Both gave birth in London in January 2015. When they went to the U.S. Embassy shortly after the boys’ births, Blixt’s biological son, Massimiliano, was made a U.S. citizen without any fuss.

But Zaccari’s biological son, Lucas, was denied citizenship.

According to the State Department website, children born abroad are only eligible for citizenship if one of their married parents is an American citizen at the time of birth. Blixt and Zaccari were married according to British law when Lucas was born, but marriage equality didn’t come to the U.S. till later that year. The U.S. Consulate therefore considers the children born out of wedlock.

But the ruling did not include children of those couples, which LGBT advocates maintain is discriminatory.

There are other couples around the world that have run into this hurdle, you would think that the State Department would be accepting to adding the children… but no they want us to fight for what is right.
