A Hero Is A Hero
After having read the story that domestic partners of
gay and lesbian survivors in the 9-11 tragedy would
not receive the same consideration as those of their
heterosexual contemporaries, I must say that it
sickens me to know that such discrimination STILL
continues.
Gay, straight, black, white, protestant, jew...GET
OVER IT. People are people. A loss is a loss. And
it is only fair that everyone be treated equally
during these trying times. Instead of trying to find
MORE ways to segregate the human race, we should try
to Unite.
I also believe we are doing the correct thing by
retaliating, but we shouldn't retaliate against our
own. Get over this narcissitic attitude that it's
either "your way or the highway."

years (This has lasted longer than both of my sisters
straight marriages and my brother's)
