Monday, March 18, 2002 8:56 AM Discrimination in the 9/11 Fund is un-American Dear Sirs: Regardless of that fetuses may receive benefits or that Federal Law will be overlooked so that illegal aliens my receive benefits, I find deplorable that the partners of gay and lesbians heroes of Sept 11th may not be treated equally. This country is supposed to be about democracy and equal rights. Haven't our leaders learned about the unconscionable prejudice our society has shown against its own "subgroups" though out our history, the Italian-Americans, Irish-Americans, African-Americans? Wasn't there a time, not so long ago, when women where not even allowed one of our most precious freedoms: TO VOTE?? Are gay and lesbian-Americans just the "subgroup" of our age to discriminate against? Your decision to not apply a common standard for all, and allow state law to govern distribution is a cowardly way to avoid the issue, or even worse, to perpetuate it.
