9/11 discrimination
I am both apalled and shocked that throughout this
whole ordeal and the government pushes us to be united
as one in this great tragedy and that we as a nation
are still discriminating against people for with whom
they share their lives with. The 9/11 fund for
victims' families does not include the domestic
partners of gays and lesbians. This is outragious!
First the government has no right to base who gets
compensated by factoring in who they were / are in
love with. Second, I would like to think that in this
day and age that we as Americans could look past what
a person's personal life consists of and realize that
a homosexual person is also as HUMAN as a
heterosexual. These petty discriminations need to
STOP if we are to be turely united in the spirt of
being an AMERICAN.
Sincerely,
