Discrimination is not an american value

At this vital time in American history, your organization has to make a
crucial decision. I urge you to at least consider my comment and then make
the decision you feel is appropriate.

Every life that was lost in September 11th is equally valid. Discriminating
against gays and lesbians partners sends the message that their partners'
lives were worse less than others. Years ago women and African American's
were the target of discrimination. However, today most people agree that
all people are equal and that discrimination is not an American value.
Then, how can discrimination for gays and lesbians be acceptable. I ask you
to consider if it was your wife, husband, or child would you feel any
differently? Are gays and lesbians' lives worth less than illegal aliens?
Are you willing to allow discrimination to be an American value? Are you
willing to act as GOD and make a decision that is not your to
make?????????????????????


Sincerely,

Individual Comment
