HGTV’s House Hunters To Feature Gay Couple Forced Abroad By DOMA

On next Monday’s episode of House Hunters International, HGTV’s flagship series will feature a gay couple forced to leave the country due to DOMA. From the show’s episode guide:

Ivan and Devin, built a life together in DC: they worked jobs they loved, shared their home with their beloved dog and exchanged wedding vows. But when Ivan’s work visa expired, he had no other choice but to head back to his native Bogota, Colombia with his American husband, Devin, and their dog, Danger. Ivan’s mother is delighted her son is back home and has extended her indefinite hospitality, but the couple agrees it’s time to find their own digs. With few dog-friendly buildings, and an extensive wish-list, real estate agent, Sam Miller has his work cut out for him. But will he deliver the goods? Find out, when House Hunters International sets its sights on Bogota, Colombia.

The show was filmed prior to last week’s announcement that Homeland Security will now deprioritize the deportations of LGBT partners.
