9/11 fund
If September 11 has taught us anything it's that our patriotism and love of country transcend our differences and unite us all. It would be horrendous if the generosity of so many Americans in giving to the 9/11 fund were used to further divide us as a people in sending the message to America and the world that some Americans are more equal than others.
Please divide the funds equally irrespective of any one person's sexual identity.
If the immigration laws of this country can be circumvented in order to insure the equitable distribution of the monies in this fund then the laws which discrimunate against gays, lesbians and transgendered people can also be circumvented.
Please rise to the occasion and do the right thing.
