Gay Couple Hopes to Reunite. Go Help.

Founder Tim Coco of agency COCO+CO has launched a personal campaign to get Washington’s attention. Apparently his husband Genesio J. Junior Oliveira, Jr. was deported last year after failing to win legal status.

His campaign is called Reunite this Family. The site comes stock with a picture of the happy couple and their dog (just aching for reproduction on a shirt), as well as a ticker keeping track of how many days they have been apart.

If you haven’t already guessed, the big indignant thorn in Coco’s side is the government’s failure to recognize their marriage under the ’96 Defense of Marriage Act. Wanna help them out? Go donate money or write a harsh letter to your Senator.
