    I note that you have the American organization LGIRTF (Lesbian and
Gay Immigration Rights Task Force ) listed with your Other Net
Resources. Please also list the Canadian group LEGIT-ICGL (Lesbian and
Gay Immigration Task Force - Immigration pour Conjoint(e)s Gais et
Lesbiennes). We are similar to the US organization except that there is
a provision (humanitarian and compassionate) in Canadian Immigration
Regulations that we have been using to reunite hundreds of gay and
lesbian couples in Canada. There have also been cases where neither of
the couple were Canadian but they were able to come to Canada to be
together.
    There are also similar groups in Australia and the UK.  We
(LEGIT-ICGL) hope to have a web site in the near future but do not as
yet. General information on queer immigration can be found at
http://www.qrd.org/qrd/www/world/immigration/  . Our snail mail
addresses and meeting dates are:
