Gays In 911

Dear Sir or Madame,

I am simply appalled at the reaction of our government regarding the heros in 911. When an illegal alien merits more than an American citizen because that American happens to have a sexual orientation other than that of the heterosexuals, there is something definitely messed up. When a person is a hero in the face of everyone nationwide and should be recognized as such, until that person is found to have a same sex lover, something is messed up. Our government is giving money to illegal aliens and their loved ones and their children, babies, and fetuses because that person gave their life for this country and the people in it. All these gay people who loved their country as much as their families must have died for nothing then when they did their heroic actions FOR their country regardless of the consequences to their loved ones. The partners to these brave GLBT souls have just as much heartache as the young American women who lost their husbands, just as much heartache as the illegal aliens who have lost loved ones... and yet that means nothing. These people have become nothing... for all they gave to/for their country.

You have a responsibility to give the partners to those GLBT people their equal share in the compensation for partners/husbands/wifes lost in 911. You will never be able to give them back their loved ones, but you will help show that these people have the same value in the hearts of America as the others who died for this country.

thank you,
