Benefits for Survivors
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.
There were gay and lesbian heros - 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 . There are many more.
It is a dishonor to those to all those Americans who died that day to treat
these families and survivors so poorly .
