Discrimination against gays and lesbians
I'm outraged that gay and lesbian partners of those
who died on September 11 are not automatically going to
receive the same benefits as heterosexual spouses.
Even fetuses and illegal aliens will be receiving benefits
under this problem. You even promised to overlook
federal law and NOT arrest and kick out the families of
illegal aliens, nor will they punish American companies that
hired illegals in violation of federal labor laws.
But when it comes to gay and lesbian heroes of the day - who helped bring down the flight in Pennsylvania, who died in the line of
duty when the first tower fell, and who was
of the plane that crashed into the (there
are many more) - we are told the law is the law and no
exceptions can be made.
This is BLATANT DISCRIMINATION.
Enough is enough with this non sense.
