Tuesday, April 02, 2002 12:43 PM Astonished at Your Refusal to Gay and Lesbian Survivors Our president has called us to make a voluntary contribution to our fellow countrymen. I applaud him for making a first step. However, I see many of my gay and lesbian countrymen becoming increasingly disillusioned and even bitter because of unfortunate decisions like this one. I suspect that the decision is based upon the facilitators' absolute ignorance in managing gay and lesbian issues, but I am kind. Most of my g and l friends are much more suspect for understandable reasons. Get a clue. Now that our numbers are reaching out to the ever burgeoning bisexual community, decisions like this one will continue to galvanize the resolve of some and the bitterness of millions. For this reason, I urge you to attempt to grapple with the apparent difficulties in administering such a fund. It cannot be easy, but it must be done wisely and fairly if you expect such kindler and gentler attitudes to continue. I would ask not how many funds were appropriately placed by this decision, but how many funds were lost.
