Sept 11 Federal Compensation Denied to Same Sex Partners of Victims
I am shocked and saddened by the decision to leave
compensation to gay and lesbian partners to the state,
rather than federal, government. What era are we
supposed to be living in?? When will the U.S. drag
itself out of the Dark Ages and stop trying to force a
narrow-minded, unpopular homophobic agenda? I am
disgusted at the cruel and divisive actions of my
government in a time when they should be doing their
job and bringing communities together. This excluding
action will further compound the suffering of people
who have lost those whom they hold most dear. The
authors of this bill should be ashamed of themselves!
