Unfortunately for those of us without American citizenship, or with spouses of the same-sex who are non-citizens, at the federal level the country refuses to recognize same-sex marriages for the purposes of immigration. In other words, our families are not given the same rights to be here. People in such a situation are given no respite through Massachusetts, though they are able to move to, for example Canada (which has much simpler immigration policies for skilled workers).
