Glenn Greenwald has been living in Brazil (where he has a permanent visa*) for the past eight years with his partner, David Michael Miranda. Now that the Defense of Marriage Act has been struck down, Greenwald says they're considering moving back to the United States.

Here's how he described his reason for moving in an interview with Out Magazine in 2011:

Brazil recognizes our relationship for immigration purposes, while the government of my supposedly "free," liberty-loving country enacted a law explicitly barring such recognition.

Does Wednesday's ruling mean Greenwald will move back? Here's what he said in an email to Slate senior editor Emily Bazelon today:

5. Well, he'd have to get married first

but it's been his excuse for years. Of course, now he's reverting to the "we've made a life here; his family is here; school," etc. Not that those things can't be completely true. I wouldn't blame him for staying for those reasons. It's just irksome that he's always said he would were it but for ...

Anyway, I hope he stays in Brazil.
