Monday, March 18, 2002 12:45 AM Saddened and Disheartened Dear Sirs: I am overwhelmed by sorrow at hearing that surviving gay and lesbian partners of the horrific events of September 11th will be discriminated against in receiving financial compensation for their losses. How can you put a dollar amount on the death of loved ones? Were their lives worth a dollar or thousands of dollars? I am sure the survivors will agreed with me when I say that NO amount of money can fill the void that was so callously made by the terrorists. As the dust settled in New York and the fires burned to embers at the Pentagon, hundreds of thousands of PROUD Americans gave selflessly of their time, energy, and finances to those poor victims and their families..... families that INCLUDED gay and lesbian partners and their CHILDREN. What makes them LESS OF AN AMERICAN than a heterosexual family unit? Who decides to pick which of the hundreds of children robbed of family members receives relief and which are left to suffer without assistance from their country? I would really like to know the names of those spineless people because there is NOTHING American about the pain and discriminate they will be delivering to those poor families and their defenseless children. Haven't they suffered enough from these events...... Haven't we all? Shame on you, whoever you are.
