Please reconsider
Please do not re-victimize the public by
discriminating against partners of gay and lesbian
victims of the 9/11 attacks. Haven't we suffered
enough from the hatred of those who do not value
differences? I felt so proud of the way Americans
were coming together to help their fellow man. Now,
the Justice Department is being inflexible in it's
decision to help partners of gay and lesbian victims
of 9/11. Why? Aren't illegal aliens being covered by
the victim compensation fund? Do you think that gays
and lesbians are somehow different? Ask someone who
is gay if it is something they chose to be. I urge
you to use compassion when making this decision.
