The Changing State of LGBT Immigration Issues

Contributed by Bryon Large, Senior Attorney

 

 

On August 28, 2012, Senior Attorney Bryon M. Large presented a Continuing Legal Education program to immigration practitioners regarding the current status of immigration law for LGBT persons and the current impact of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) on immigration cases.  The course was offered by the Colorado Bar Association’s Immigration Law Section, of which Bryon is the Chair.  He spent time discussing the many challenges LGBT people face in the absence of protections for same-sex partners under the Immigration and Nationality Act.  Bryon also spent time discussing how the current DOMA litigation awaiting a hearing decision by the Supreme Court would impact people.  Bryon is frequently involved in issues related to the intersection of Immigration Law and LGBT issues and recently attended the National LGBT Bar Association’s Lavender Law annual conference in Washington, D.C.  He is an active member of the Colorado GLBT Bar Association, the National LGBT Bar Association, and is a member of AILA National’s LGBT Working Group.
