The landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges granted marriage equality to all couples, regardless of gender, stating that same-sex couples “… ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law. The Constitution grants them that right. … It is so ordered.”

But for some same-sex couples, the rights granted to them under the Constitution are under attack from all angles, and particularly in regards to the citizenship status of their children. The U.S. State Department is withholding citizenship from a handful of children born abroad to same-sex parents.
