Benefits for Gay Victims


To whom this may concern:

I thought that this was the country of the free and
that we pride ourselves on being diverse. In this
terrible time of sorrow and war, why must we
discriminate against gay Americans? It absolutely
disgusted me to hear that victims of 9/11's attacks
that were gay would not be receiving the same sorts of
benefits as their heterosexual counterparts.

I urge you to strongly reconsider your stance. All
Americans deserve the same respect - especially those
that are United States citizens, those that pay taxes,
those that helped on the Philadelphia flight, etc.

Thank you.
