Deportation of caregiving partner: WHY IT MATTERS

From The SF CHronicle
Citing the Defense of Marriage Act, the Obama administration denied immigration benefits to a married gay couple from San Francisco and ordered the expulsion of a man who is the primary caregiver to his AIDS-afflicted spouse.

I would really like Maggie Gallagher to explain how this "protects the sanctity of marriage". How this deportation is necessary to protect HER marriage. Because somehow, if these two men stay together, straight couples will stop having babies. Or something. Can she defend the indefensible? I'm sure she will. This is heartbreaking.
