discrimination is un-American


To the Department of Justice:

I simply cannot believe that the DOJ wants "all" Americans to unite in their support for the families and survivors of the 9/11 atacks--except for gays & lesbians.

Given the fact that heroes have been made of the quite publicly gay men, including the                                of the NY Fire Department, killed in the collapse of the fist WTC tower, who showed their patriotism to the nth degree, I am sickened that compensation is not being given to the gay spouses and partners of these terrorist attacks.

At times the policies of my government make me very, very ashamed to say, "I am an American" when the meaning of "American" is forced to mean bigotry and chicken crap--and much, much worse. Shame on you.
