What about GLBT

I am writing in response to the latest voting issue; SHOULD FAMILIES OF
ILLEGAL IMIGRANTS WHO DIEN ON 9-1-1 GET MONEY FROM THE FEDERAL VICTIM"S
FUND? I am at a complete loss of words!!!!! Unbelievable. We have American
families right here in pain over their losses just as the families being
recognized and helped. The difference here is that Gay Lesbian Bi-sexual and
Transgendered families don't seem to fit the mold and are not being taken
care of. I have not heard about trust funds for the kids of these victims
for when they are grown they too may go to college if they choose. Forget
college though. What about having food? A roof over their heads? Heat ,
electric? Prisoners have more rights than our families. The "families of
GLBT.
    I thought that definition of family had something to do with loving
another person.Sharing the American dream, Freedom, The Liberty to choose.
To be united involved with ones' neighborhood, community. Sharing our
experiences with one another for the greater good of all. To be better
people, to help others in need wanting nothing in return but for those
hurting to know there is hope. That everything will be o.k.
    How do I think we should disperse money from the Federal Victim's funds?
We should take care of every American family first. With a new definition. A
definition which includes those families that want(ed) to be recognized,
that have endured one day at a time together in the name of love. Love
freely given to them by God, Great spirit a higher power.
    The laws in place now place limits on God. Who are we to question God?
To question love? Love is. Love endures all. Love conquers all fears. To
thine own country be true. Let's take off our blinders. Maybe we can learn
something. That love has no boundries. Boundaries placed on love are only
done out of fear and ignorance, bigotry and pride. Let us help OUR american
families defined and undefined first. Then lets see what we can do for
others. Share in the love.     
                In His name 
 A very unmarried lesbian mother proud to be american ~
