Wednesday, March 27, 2002 5:28 PM It's A Shame Dear Sir/Madam: Your decision not to grant any benefits to gays and lesbians affected by the terrorist attacks of 9/11 is completely wrong and to say the least, misguided. But on the other hand, you are willing to extend these benefits to illegal aliens. This sends a message to the world on your view of "justice" to our own citizens and encourages those that want to come here, can do so illegally and perhaps be compensated. The issue here is bigotry and homophobia. who was a hero of Flight 93, a gay man, have saved a lot of lives. Probably yours and the rest of your employees, since the target was an office building in the DC area. I wish you would reconsider your decision. Sincerely yours, Individual Comment September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written. 2002-03-27 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
