His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.","avatar":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twitter":"MarkFiore","facebook":null,"instagram":"https://www.instagram.com/markfiore/?hl=en","linkedin":null,"sites":[{"site":"arts","roles":["contributor"]},{"site":"news","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"futureofyou","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"science","roles":["editor"]}],"headData":{"title":"Mark Fiore | KQED","description":"KQED News Cartoonist","ogImgSrc":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twImgSrc":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g"},"isLoading":false,"link":"/author/markfiore"},"mlagos":{"type":"authors","id":"3239","meta":{"index":"authors_1591205172","id":"3239","found":true},"name":"Marisa Lagos","firstName":"Marisa","lastName":"Lagos","slug":"mlagos","email":"mlagos@kqed.org","display_author_email":false,"staff_mastheads":["news"],"title":"KQED Contributor","bio":"\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marisa Lagos is a correspondent for KQED’s California Politics and Government Desk and co-hosts a weekly show and podcast, \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Political Breakdown.\u003c/span>\u003c/i> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At KQED, Lagos conducts reporting, analysis and investigations into state, local and national politics for radio, TV and online.

The Dvash-Bankses had their marriage license and the kids' birth certificates. Everything was in order. They heard their number called; they walked up to the window and greeted the consular officer, who looked a little surprised, they said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"She started off with, 'Obviously the two of you had to use assisted reproduction in order to have your family,' \" Andrew said. \" 'Tell me more about that.

Elad got quiet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They didn't expect this. As the children of an American citizen, the twins should both inherit citizenship. But the couple used a surrogate abroad. Each child has genes from one of his fathers. And while Andrew and Elad never planned to tell anyone which child had Andrew's DNA and which child had Elad's, the State Department asked for DNA tests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two months later, Andrew says, letters came.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"One addressed to Aiden, with a U.S. passport saying congratulations, here is your U.S. passport,\" he said. \"And one addressed to my son Ethan, saying we regret to inform you that your application for citizenship has been rejected.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite both men being listed on the boys' birth certificates, Elad says, the government made a distinction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was literally black and white, on paper, your kids are different,\" he said. \"That was something that any parent would have a hard time seeing, that the government is discriminating against their kids and treating them differently. It's terrible.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The State Department wouldn't comment for this story because of the pending litigation. But in the department's \u003ca href=\"https://fam.state.gov/FAM/07FAM/07FAM1130.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Foreign Affairs Manual\u003c/a>, consular officers are instructed to ask for evidence if they suspect a child doesn't have a biological relationship with the U.S. citizen parent, specifically in cases of surrogacy or \"other cases of assisted reproduction.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The discrimination happens in the application, said Aaron Morris, executive director of Immigration Equality. Under the manual's guidance, every single same-sex couple with children would be flagged at a U.S. Embassy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Treating same-sex couples differently in this way is illegal and unconstitutional,\" Morris said. \u003cem>\"\u003c/em>It is possible that an opposite-sex couple, if they disclose that they had used surrogacy, might have the same problem. But the difference is, in every same-sex couple's case the government is asking deeply invasive questions about the makeup and the creation of the children of same-sex couples.

The 16-month-old twins were born four minutes apart, from the same womb, to the same fathers, and now they share the same toys in the living room of their Southern California home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there is one thing they don't share — Aiden was granted U.S. citizenship and Ethan is living in California on an expired tourist visa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Why? The State Department says only one is the child of an American. One of the kids has the genetic material of his U.S. citizen father; the other, the genetic material from his other father, an Israeli citizen with a green card. Both boys were born in Canada.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The couple is now suing the State Department with the help of Immigration Equality, \u003ca href=\"https://www.immigrationequality.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">an LGBTQ immigrant rights organization\u003c/a>. It's one of two lawsuits filed this week by married, same-sex couples who had children abroad. In each case one of the children was refused citizenship because he was genetically related to only the foreign parent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immigration Equality says it goes against the \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/ilink/docView/SLB/HTML/SLB/act.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Immigration and Nationality Act \u003c/a>that says children born abroad to at least one U.S. parent get citizenship.

The Dvash-Bankses had their marriage license and the kids' birth certificates. Everything was in order. They heard their number called; they walked up to the window and greeted the consular officer, who looked a little surprised, they said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"She started off with, 'Obviously the two of you had to use assisted reproduction in order to have your family,' \" Andrew said. \" 'Tell me more about that. Tell me about who is genetically related to who.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The questions were invasive, probing, embarrassing, he said. He cried. Elad got quiet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They didn't expect this. As the children of an American citizen, the twins should both inherit citizenship. But the couple used a surrogate abroad. Each child has genes from one of his fathers. And while Andrew and Elad never planned to tell anyone which child had Andrew's DNA and which child had Elad's, the State Department asked for DNA tests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two months later, Andrew says, letters came.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"One addressed to Aiden, with a U.S. passport saying congratulations, here is your U.S. passport,\" he said. \"And one addressed to my son Ethan, saying we regret to inform you that your application for citizenship has been rejected.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite both men being listed on the boys' birth certificates, Elad says, the government made a distinction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was literally black and white, on paper, your kids are different,\" he said. \"That was something that any parent would have a hard time seeing, that the government is discriminating against their kids and treating them differently.
