Breaking: Wilton Manors, Florida Passes Resolution in Support of UAFA

Posted by: Lez Get Real on July 28, 2010.

Melanie Nathan; July 28, 2010 – UAFA Supportive Resolution On Wilton Manors

Although he must remain in anonymous a resident in Florida, in a same-sex binational relationship, separated by thousands of miles from the love of his life, made his impact on the hopeful passage of UAFA, the federal legislation that would give bi-national couples equality under the current immigration law. The Florida town, Wilton Manor passed a Resolution in support of the Uniting American Families Act , after the Mayor had been approached by the binational and it was placed on the Council Agenda.

From all Bi-nationals to the Mayor Gary Resnick, the binational community is grateful and we all look forward to your town as a future destination.

The City of Wilton Manors is approximately two square miles in area and is located in Broward County, Florida, just north of downtown Fort Lauderdale. Wilton Manors is often referred to as the “Island City” because its boundaries primarily follow the North and South Forks of the Middle River. Ideally located within minutes of the beach and downtown Fort Lauderdale, Wilton Manors is quickly becoming the “place to be” in South Florida.

The City is nearly 100% built-out and embraces the vision of a “sustainable urban village.” But what use would such be without recognizing that every American has an equal right to live in happiness with the person of their choice, whether of the same gender or not!
