Saturday, March 16, 2002 2:37 PM What if.......... To the people who think gays and lesbians don't matter....... What if it was you mom or dad or sister or uncle or brother or aunt or grandmom or grandad etc. who was killed in the 9/11 tragedy and they were gay or lesbian.....how would you feel if someone you knew gave their life that day and the days to follow.......and they were gay or lesbian. Here I sit....... an out lesbian......Horrified that this good old USA is still discriminating against us. Did you know that if every gay or lesbian person would gather together on 1 day and stop whatever work they were doing......the whole of your world would stop.... We are people just like you....we laugh and cry and have needs.....just like you and your family and friends. And I say that it's enough! We have faught for our country and died without little or no recognition. Isn't it enough that you ridicule and make fun and beat up and even kill......just because we are different. How dare you take our taxes and donations without including us in the healing process. I dare you to publish this letter.....to show it to congress and then say no.....it's the law.....we can't help homosexusals who have died or were maimed in the 9/11 disaster. I just wish that anyone who has ever discriminated againsat us would only meet and be with us and see how we really are.....no one would ever say no again. thank you for your time, .......lesbian Individual Comment September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written. 2002-03-16 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
