I am outraged that gay and lesbian partners of those
who died on September 11 are not automatically going to
receive the same benefits as heterosexual spouses.
Discrimination is un-American.
Even fetuses and illegal aliens will be receiving benefits
under this program. You even promised to overlook
federal law and not arrest and kick out the families of
illegal aliens, nor will you punish American companies that
hired illegals in violation of federal labor laws.
But when it comes to gay and lesbian heroes of the day - who helped bring down the flight in Pennsylvania, NY Fire
Dept. who died in the line of
duty when the first tower fell, and who was
of the plane that crashed into the Pentagon (there
are many more) - we are told the law is the law and no
exceptions can be made.
This is totally unacceptable to true Americans. We are all Americans.
We should all be treated equally.
