Although the couple were legally wed in Massachusetts and have lived together for 19 years in San Francisco, Makk is being deported to his native Australia. It is time to repeal the so-called Defense of Marriage Act.

The couple entered into a civil union in New Jersey, but that did not save Izquierdo from being deported to his native Peru. The couple now suffers with a heart-breaking long-distance relationship.
