Discrimination against Gay and Lesbian victims of Sept. 11, 2001


Dear benefits personnel,

As an American, I was appalled and horrified at what the terrorists did to
my county on Sept.11th, 2001. I am now outraged at finding out that my own
government is discriminating against Gay and Lesbian victims and their
families who were killed or injured during the Sept. 11th attacks.
How can you possibly justify this obvious and blatant discrimination against
Gays and Lesbians? You have made it very clear that even illegal aliens can
be compensated from this fund, yet American citizens can not? I donated to
those funds, and you have no right to discriminate against any Americans who
were harmed that day. I will not go quietly into this good night without
joining the other voices calling on our own government to live up to it's
motto of "Justice for all". Do not let this policy stand, as an American I
can tell you the "Whole world is watching"!.
Sincerely,

Individual Comment
