charity should not discriminate against gay heroes



To the Authorities Governing the Distribution of the September 11th fund:

If the heroes of September 11th are to be properly honored, it must be
remembered that they fought and died for the ideals of our nation: Liberty
and Justice for all. Not just for some, but for all. Compensation to the
bereaved should reflect this ideal. On September eleventh, the victims and
heroes who died at the hands of the terrorists were of all races, genders,
and sexual orientations. Compensation for their loss should be given to all
of their households- not just those sactioned by the state. This
transcendance of quotidian state law for the sake of honoring those who died
has already been recognized for the households of illegal immigrants. Now it
is time to acknowledge that it also applies to gay households. Life is the
teacher, and love and unity are the lesson.

Sincerely

Individual Comment
