9/11 Funds
I cannot believe that, no matter what someone's
personal beliefs, they could see not giving
gay/lesbian partners and families their share of the
9/11 funds as the right thing to do. By refusing their
right to some of these funds, the American people are
belittling and ignoring the sacrifices made by
AMERICAN CITIZENS that just happened to be gay or
lesbian. The fund is giving money to ILLEGAL ALIENS,
people who have no right to anything else but will get
their share of the 9/11 funds because they lost loved
ones. So how is it wrong to give AMERICAN CITIZENS,who
lost loved ones, their share of the 9/11 funds due to
their sexual preferences. If we are to follow the
laws, then apply them to everyone and refuse to give
aid to ILLEGAL ALIENS families as well as gay/lesbian
families. I thought we were a country that fought
against discrimination, not encouraged it. I am
seriously concerned that our government would not help
its own citizens in the wake of this tragedy.
