I am appalled!

I am appalled to hear that gay people are being discriminated against in the sharing of the victim benefits of loved ones who died on September 11th.

This is totally unacceptable. There were many gay heroes among those who died including            and their partners deserve to be treated equally with everyone else.

It is bad enough that the fund is not really distributing it equally even among other victims...and of course we know that some of the families of illegal aliens who died who cleaned the towers for those who worked there will probably get nothing.

If there is going to be compensation... it should be fair and equitable. Stop playing games...it only proves to be divicive in the end! And if anything should have brought people together it would be something like this happening!

As a tax payer I demand that gay people be treated as equal sufferers in this tragedy. Their grief is not diminished by their status as gay people! And this country should not treat them as less!

sincerely
