9/11 compensation fund excluding gays and lesbians
I am shocked and appalled that the surviving partners of gay and lesbian
victims of the 9/11 attacks will not be receiving federal compensation.
Hiding behind the laws of states as an excuse doesn't cut it when illegal
aliens will be receiving aid from the fund in violation of the law. If it's
okay and acceptable to bend the rules for illegals then how can it not be
okay and acceptable to compensate those gay and lesbian American citizens
who lost a partner?
Discrimination is a horrible thing. Discrimination by your own government
is appalling.
