9/11 Fund

The exclusion of gays and lesbians from this fund is profoundly wrong,
profoundly sad.

Our sons, our daughters, our mothers, our fathers, our lovers--all are missed
with a grief as profound as any other bereaved family. All were depended
upon to support their children or their parents, to string up Christmas
lights, to sing in church, to light the Hanukkah candles, to help us laugh at
the end of a long hard day, to cook dinners, or bring home the groceries or
even to save other lives in their work as fire or police personnel. We
needed them. It is cruel and un-American to assume otherwise. Please insist
that this country is fair in it's compassion.
Thank you,
