Saturday, March 16, 2002 5:24 PM Discrimination against the Gay Heroes of 9/11 As a tax paying American citizen I am writing to voice my absolute disbelief in learning that domestic partners of the Gay American Heroes of 9/11 are not going to receive anything from the victims compensation fund! It is simply unacceptable that you (our government) see fit to overlook the laws of our land when it comes to giving compensation to families of victims who were in our country illegally on 9/11 and yet find it totally acceptable to deny these same benefits to domestic partners of GAY AMERICAN HEROES who died in the attack on the World Trade Center and in the downed plane in Pennsylvania. I think it is about time that those in a position of decision making stop making decisions based on their own moral attitudes and values and start doing what is RIGHT and treat ALL AMERICANS with the same respect with which they expect to be treated! You rest assured that I will be sending similar emails to the White House, Members of Congress and anywhere else that I feel the voices of average, ordinary, tax paying citizens of this country need to be heard! I have a gay brother and more than one gay friend and today as I learned of yet another atrocity against a group of individuals who suffered just as much as anyone else as a result of 9/11 I am ashamed to know that my tax dollars go to support a government who does not treat EVERYONE equally!
