Because the federal government doesn’t recognize same sex marriage, foreign nationals who marry an American citizen in states where gay marriage is legal aren’t allowed to become citizens like their heterosexual counterparts says the Washington Post. Efforts to change the laws are afoot but the Post says they’re being stymied by several prominent immigration reform groups who say adding the issue to their docket would stall any attempts at reform.
