This week, he’s against fair immigration reform; another issue that most people are for. It’s time for Mr Boehner to stop making excuses for inaction and to start listening to the American people. It’s time for him to allow Congress a vote on fair immigration reform — for the 11 million undocumented immigrants desperatefor a shot at the American Dream, over 250,000 of whom are lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender.” To learn more about the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, visit www.theTaskForce.org and follow us on Twitter: @TheTaskForce.
