The drum beat for an immigration reform measure that includes LGBT families just got much louder.

Earlier today, 60 Members of Congress - led by Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) - released a letter calling on Congressional leaders, and the White House, to support an LGBT-inclusive immigration reform bill. The letter, which comes after news that Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is expected to introduce comprehensive immigration reform legislation soon, sends an unmistakable message: Including LGBT families in immigration reform isn't just the right thing to do, but brings votes to the table, too.
