9/11 Fund to Discriminate Against Gays

Dear Sirs,

My name is            and I am writing to you from Dublin, Ireland. I am deeply concerned at the information contained in the email below, relating to the USA's current policy of not recognising the basic human rights of Gay & Lesbian couples who's partners lost their lives, and their right to compensation also. Especailly, in the 9/11 tragedy.

I have two wonderully loving brothers, who are gay, and the thought that they can be discriminated against, purely because of their sexuality is horrific to me personally. People mean more to me, than silly and out dated laws. Freedom and dignity, isn't something we all should hope for, but something that we have an absolute right to receive. Please, please re-think your policy's regarding compensation to gay & lesbian couples, the whole world is watching you, you need to be seen to be taking a lead. The President did relax certain insurance clauses a few days after the tragedy in relation certain things, did he not? Could he not do the same again? I think he could!!

I hope, that this email won't fall on deaf years.

Regards,

Individual Comment
