Benefits....
I am appalled to understand that the US Government will not distribute funds
helping the families of the victims of the tragic events of September 11th,
if those victims happen to be gay or lesbian.
The rhetoric of "whatever the law is in your state will apply" is a
ridiculous cop-out and a pitiful attempt to shift any blame for such a policy
from the governing bodies directly involved to the State of the victim.
The many gay and lesbian victims, heroes, and their families and loved ones
are no less affected by this tragedy, regardless of who they love. God forbid
a young person looks to , or as a role model
of what a true hero is, because according to the Government of the United
States of America, they are nothing. To call ourselves United States is
blasphemy...apparently we're only United when it's convenient and doesn't
pose a problem to some politician's public image.
To say that you represent, love and honor America...SHAME, SHAME, SHAME.
