compensation for 9-11
When I donated money for the Sept 11 Fund, I had no idea that there would be
discrimination against gay partners of the victims of the tragedy. This needs
to stop immediately. I cannot believe in this time when we as a nation should
be pulling together to fight evil we allow this kind of evil to exist. And
no, I am not gay...I believe in the rights of all Americans.......I can't
help but wonder how partner must feel.....he is being praised as the hero he was and yet what exactly did he die for....I would think he
made the decision to fight the terrorist just as the others did because he
believed in this country, in what we stand for. To think that his partner
would be treated differently than any other bereaved spouse makes me sick.
Shame on all of you for your decision to exclude gay partners for their
rightful share of the money I sent. Your decision is based on fear.....the
same fear that existed in the hearts of the terrorists. I will send no more
money to your fund and will spread the word until I have received clear
evidence that you have changed your policy.
