Saturday, March 16, 2002 8:12 PM SEPT. 11 COMPENSATION I am outraged to learn that domestic partners of Gay and Lesbian people will not receive compensation for the loss of their loved ones in this terrible tragedy. Hasn't there been enough proof that the majority of Gays are fine, upstanding citizens who are patriotic and have a love for their country? How dare they be discriminated against in such an arbitrary manner simply because of their sexual orientation? I am an 81 year old straight, senior citizen who has been involved with helping the Gay and Lesbian Community for more than 20 years. My life has been enriched and enhanced through my contacts with these highly intelligent, talented, caring and compassionate people. They do not deserve this unfair and inequitable treatment. I urge you to reconsider your manner of thinking and include domestic partners in receiving benefits they are entitled to regardless of their sexual orientation.
