Another reason for quick passage of the Reuniting American Families Act. San Angelo's mayor J.W. Lown resigned from office to stay in Mexico while his partner waits to receive U.S. citizenship.
He had just won re-election with 89% of the vote, after already serving several terms. Mayor Pro Tem Jon Mark Hogg said “it goes without saying we lost a great public servant with. He cared about and advocated for the city of San Angelo.”
This is TEXAS people!!!! The world is getting more interesting as more people not only come out, but take public stances on how their lack of legal status affects not only their lives, but the life of the wider community. This is where marriage equality on a federal level would make a complete difference.
As public servants like former Mayor Lown, and servicemenbers like Lt. Choi and Lt. Co. Ferhrehbach continue to come out, it's going to be harder for the right to make the case against us. Who is next?
