Gays and Sept. 11 Fund
I am writing to express my disgust that the same considerations being given to families of other victims of the Sept. 11 attack are not being given to the gay victims and families. To be giving compensation and overlooking laws for illegal aliens, including the businesses that have knowingly hired illegal aliens, and even giving compensation to unborn fetuses and not our gay heroes and families is a disgrace.
This issue must be addressed - hopefully in or supposedly "American, Everyone is Equal" way of life. I ask that the administrators of this fund do not slap in the face, once again and in yet another way, the victims of this tragic event who gave their lives, and who happen to be gay.
In upholding this immoral, unfair and bigoted decision, you are desecrating the honor and lives of some our greatest "heroes" of Sept. 11 - , and so many more.
I trust that you will do the right thing.
Sincerely,
Individual Comment
