9/11 fund to our heroes
I am grateful that I can point to ordinary people as heroes.
Who better to hold as example of heroic behavior that those
who did nothing more than climb on a plane to travel home, to
travel on a vacation, to travel for business and become part of
the worst terrorist attack in history?
I am grateful, too, that I now can point to something so public
and say this is the reason we need laws to protect gays and
lesbians. The only class not protected by law will not receive
the same as the others. They are all heroes, but deserve has
nothing to do with it. Now when someone asks me why gays and
lesbians need special laws, I can point to this blatant example
of injustice.
Why do we need laws protecting the rights of gays and lesbians?
We need laws because we fail at fairness for all!
