        Bi-National Lesbian Couple's Plea to Repeal DOMA - VIDEO
    Marriage equality in America doesn't exist because of DOMA (The Defense of Marriage Act). My partner Inger and I are a bi-national couple. We've been together for 3.5 years  and still we have to live separately. This video is an honest portrait of us and our daughter, using music, pictures and an interview with the strongest woman I've ever met; my wife. Please take seven minutes to watch this and if it has an affect on you, help us change this situation.
