Friday, March 15, 2002 11:25 AM equal treatment It is my understanding that those in charge of the 9/11 funds are going to exclude some people while including others. In both cases, the law is being used to justify these actions. In WWII black men fought for our country and were treated as though they had done nothing when they returned to their homes in the United States. We now see the travisty in our bigoted response to these men. Are we now behaving so differently when we allow our government to treat gay and lesbian families different than any other family members who died in the 9/11 events? Let us NOT repeat the mistakes of our bigoted past. The US is about equality. As a voting citizen of this country, I demand our government stand up against bigotry and treat all people as equal. Yes, this includes people who make alternative life style choices.
