Sunday, March 17, 2002 7:26 PM 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?????????????????????
