Discrimination is Un-American!
If September 11 has taught us anything, it's that our patriotism and love
of country transcend our differences and unite us all. We were told that
September 11 was the day that "hyphenated-Americans" were no more, and
rather than being Italian-Americans, African-Americans or gay-Americans, we
were now simply Americans, all of us together as one American family.
Apparently, that family just got a divorce.
The hyphens seem not to matter when our government wants to use our heroism
to inspire others, but when it comes time to actually aid the families of
those heroes, the hyphens come back with a vengeance, and it seems that
some American heroes are now more equal than others.
Even fetuses and illegal aliens will be receiving benefits under this
program, and you've 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. I wonder
how many of those fetuses and illegal aliens are homosexuals?
Do the right thing, and don't discriminate against Americans who happen to
be homosexuals. They deserve better, and the United States deserves better.
