GET REAL
I received an email that informed me and many others that the partners of gay
and lesbian americans killed in the Sept 11th attacks will not be afforded
the same opportunity as all other mates of people killed in the attacks,
including illegal aliens and unborn children. This angers me and many others
greatly, and I think about the most direct and polite thing I can say is to
ask the government to get real. Think about this. If it is a matter of
legality, LAWS have been changed and will continue to be changed and should.
ANYTHING is possible with love. Americans are americans no matter what other
differences people have. ALL were heroes and should be treated accordingly.
These people came down to earth with this special mission to die in such a
way as to bring the world together to become stronger. Lets not dishonor
that all important lesson with something as silly as a religious-fearing
belief. Do the right thing, do what needs to be done and honor these people
justly... I ask from the bottom of my heart. We all have ways of making this
world better, and this is your chance. If we have learned anything from all
this, its that we all need to come together in loving supportive ways, not
discriminating some, out of fear. Thats what caused all this to begin with-
fear.
God bless you and may your heart guide you
