Wednesday, December 05, 2001 7:04 AM opinion Sirs: To discriminate against gay and lesbian families is wrong. When two people live in a domestic partnership because it is the only formal means available, they live the same way heterosexual couples do: depending upon each other of emotional, mental, and financial support. When the 9-11 tragedy happened, all families suffered a great loss. The pain of losing a loved one is the same for all families. The great financial burden is also the same. All families from 9-11 will have to go on and rebuild their lives. I contributed money to many of the groups collecting money. I never thought for a minute that in the light of a great tragedy you would deny money arbitrarily and capriciously. In doing so you are making a gigantic moral mistake.
