While American citizens can sponsor their opposite-gender partners to immigrate, there's no such provision under U.S. immigration law for gays and lesbians in committed relationships with partners from other countries. Democratic U.S. Congressman Jerrold Nadler used the day for lovers at a New York press conference to announce his introduction of the Permanent Partner Immigration Act of 2000 to correct the inequity. There were rallies in support of Nadler's bill on both coasts, spearheaded by the Lesbian & Gay Immigration Rights Task Force.
