VICTIM COMPANSATION
I AM APPALLED TO FIND THAT THE U.S. GOV. IS NOT GOING TO EQUALLY COMPENDATE
THE VICTIMS OF 9/11. TO NOT GIVE PARTNERS OF GAY AND LESBIAN VICTIMS OF 9/11
COPENSATION SIMPLY EQUATES THE U.S. WITH THE TALIBAN. GAY AND LESBIAN
CITIZENS OF THE U.S. ARE NOT TO BE TREATED AS A CLASS ASSIDE! AND IF YOU DO
TREAT THEM AS SUCH WHEN ILLEGAL ALIENS GET SUCH COMPENSATION, YOU ARE
BEHAVING IN THE SAME MAOR AS THE TALIBAN TOWARDS WOMEN IN THIER COUNTRY. HOW
SHAMEFUL! AMERICAN CITIZENS SHOULD BE TREATED EQUALLY WITH NO DIFFERENTION AS
TO COLOR, RELIGION, RACE, OR SEXUAL PREFFERENCE. I CANNOT EVEN COMPREHEND
SUCH UNFAIRNESS AND PREJUDICE. THIS IS THE SAME UNFARINESS AND PREJUDICE (
WHICH EQUATES TO PURE IGNORANCE) THAT THE TALIBAN AND ITS ILK EXHIBIT. IF
ANYTHING THE EVENTS OF 9/11 SHOULD BE BRINGING ALL PEOPLE OF THE U.S. CLOSER
AND EXEMPLIFYING THE PRINCIPLE OF FREEDOM AND JUSTICE FOR ALL. PREJUDICE
AGAINST GAY AND LESBIAN AMERICANS, YES AMERICANS, IS NOT A POLITICAL OR
GOVERNMENTAL PRINCIPLE BUT A RELIGIOUS ONE AND HAS NO PLACE IN THE U.S.. ONE
OF THE HEROES OF THE PLANE THAT WENT DOWN IN PENN. WAS A GAY AMERICAN! THE
GAY PRIEST THAT DIED AT THE WTC, , WAS A GAY AMERICAN. AND MANY
OTHERS NOT RECOGNIZED ALSO FOUGHT AND DIED THAT DAY WERE ALSO GAY AMERICANS.
PLEASE DO NOT SULLY THE AMERICAN PRIDE WE SHOULD ALL FEEL WITH THE RESPONSE
BY AMERICANS , AND GAY AMERICANS, THAT OFFERED THEIR HELP TO THE VICTIMS OF
9/11. TO EVEN THINK OF SUCH PREJUDICE/IGNORANCE IS A SMIRCH ON THE PRIDE WE
SHOULD BE ABLE TO FEEL. JUST REMEMBER ONE THING, IF GAY AND LESBIAN VICTIMS
AND THIER PARTNERS ARE NOT TREATED EQUALLY BIN LADEN AND HIS HENCHMEN AND THE
TALIBAN HAVE MADE A DICISIVE VICTORY IN DESTROYING AMERICAN PRINCIPLE. DO NOT
LET THIS HAPPEN!!!!!
YOU CANNOT SEPARATE YOURSELF FROM THEM ( BIN LADEN AND THE TALIBAN) IF YOU
DOLE OUT THE VICTIM COMPENSATION UNEQUALLY !!!!
SINCERELY,
