Sept 11 Fund
Please reconsider your decision on gay and lesbian partners of those killed
on September 11th. It is not fair to deny these people the same benefits
conferred to other family members of victims just because most U.S. state
governments do not recognize domestic partners. You are willing to overlook
laws regarding illegal aliens, so why not gays and lesbians? If September 11
has taught us anything, it's that our patriotism and love of country
transcend our differences and unite us all. It would be ironic if the
generosity of so many Americans in giving to the September 11th Fund were
used to further divide us as a people and send the message that some
American heroes are more equal than others.
