Compensation for all 9/11 victims
I'm appalled at the stance that the government seems to be taking in regards to extending compensation to gay and lesbian partners of those died in the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The hypocrisy inherent in such a proposition--that only heterosexual relatives and partners of the dead are worthy of compensation--is an outrage.
Regardless of states' laws, all families and partners of the victims of 9/11 should be compensated equally. To exclude gays and lesbians while including illegal immigrants is morally reprehensible.
