***INS NETWORK***

The Inter-National Spouses Network is a self-help organization promoting
lesbian and gay spousal immigration rights. 

This is an area that has been sorely neglected in the fight for equal
rights for gays.  Each year many of us are separated from our partners due
to our being unable to marry; others go through sham marriages. Domestic
partnership does nothing for those in this situation.  Australia and New
Zealand already have provisions in place for non-citizen gay/lesbian
partners; Canada is considering it as well, but gay rights leaders here 
in the U.S. are reluctant to touch it because of homophobia in the 
government (then what rights should we ask for?!).

If you are dealing with this situation and would like to be put in touch
with others in your same situation, or are interested in becoming involved
for other reasons, please contact;
