Gay and Lesbian Partners of Sept. 11th

The exclusion of gay and lesbian partners from
recieving government benefits from the September 11th
attacks would be just as much a crime of hate and
misunderstanding as the terrorism our country is
fighting against. To descriminate based upon sexual
orientation or preference denies us all the right to
the freedom of choice, the ability to be who we are
without fear of penalty or rebuke: the essence of what
makes our country great. A loved one is loved
regardless of age, sex, religion, or sexual
preference. We have all suffered a great loss, and to
aggrevate that through our own blind fears and
prejudices would be unacceptable.

Sincerely,
Individual Comment
