Saturday, March 16, 2002 5:42 PM It is unamerican to discriminate against gay and lesbian survivors and families of the 9/11 victims. We will not stand for it!!!! and what is even more ridiculous is that illegal aliens and fetuses will be given compensation but gays and lesbians won't, gays' and lesbians' compensation will differ because they are merely gay or lesbian. that is really petty. aren't we past that? it is outright discrimination!!! and we are not going to stand for it! so, put you homophobia aside and have some compassion for human life! i don't understand how the plan to not include gays a lesbians in the 9/11 fund (or to limit their compensation based on sexual orientation) is going to stop them from being gay/lesbian. gays and lesbians are going to be gays and lesbians--and human beings just like the rest of us--no matter what. so what are you trying to accomplish by being disgustingly cruel, un-american, and homophobic? this makes me unproud to be an american. i thought america was better than that. please, treat family and survivors as human beings--look past any racial, class, or sexual orientaion issues--and stop trying to prove a point. i'd like to leave you with one final thought: we are all different, and that is the one thing that makes us all the same. thank you for your time, Individual Comment September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written. 2002-03-16 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
