A gay married couple in Maryland sued Thursday to challenge the State Department's refusal to recognize the U.S. citizenship of their infant daughter, who was born in Canada via a surrogate this year.

The federal lawsuit says a State Department policy discriminates against same-sex married couples and unlawfully treats their children as if they were born out of wedlock.

The State Department declined comment, citing pending litigation. The suit names Secretary of State Mike Pompeo as the lone defendant. "We are the only parents she has ever known. To have that questioned by your own government is very unsettling, to say the least," he said during a telephone interview Thursday.

"State Department policy unlawfully denies that the Kiviti family is a family at all," the suit says.
