Michael Ashanti - American songwriter/recording artist - composes a heartfelt account on the emotional and legal challenges faced by American citizens/permanent residents who are one part of a bi-national, same-sex loving relationship and must live abroad as love exiles in order to remain in their relationships. There are currently 19 countries with immigration policies that allow for the sponsorship of same-sex partners and the United States of America IS NOT one of them. As a result, many of America's own are forced to choose between their country and their relationships. The ultimate decisions are either to live separately from their partners or leave behind their homes, communities, families, jobs and careers to start a new life in a country that recognizes their basic human rights and relationships for immigration purposes. If the USA is truly the land of liberty, freedom and equality, then why are Americans being forced to make these choices? Reviews: "Thank you Michael! You brilliantly give voice the reality thousands of us living in "DOMA Exile" live with every day." "Beautiful and very moving. Thank you for capturing the experience of not being able to return to your own country." "Thank you Michael. Very special song. So many of us are facing the same situation. DOMA must go!!!"
