Wednesday, March 13, 2002 4:46 PM 911 fund discrimination Dear President Bush, I recently learned that the 911 fund will be making a discrimination against the partners of same-sex victims. I also learned that illegal aliens will receive money from this fund. I think it is an outrage that American heroes like &nbsp are not considered more worthy than people who are not even American citizens. And I sincerely hope that I have been misinformed. It is time for America to truly embrace the principals that this country was founded on. Every citizen should have the right to live as they see fit and not be treated differently because of religious beliefs. I do not treat people who are of a different faith any differently than I do people of my own faith. I believe they should have equal rights. However, I, as a homosexual professional woman, who provides over half of my partner's financial support for the year, cannot even claim her on my taxes. A family is a loving home where people care about each other and would die for the other members. Apparently, even dying for you, Mr. President, is not good enough for a gay man, to receive equal treatment. Shame on you. By imposing our religious beliefs on others are we any better than the religious fanatics who flew into the twin towers?
