gay and lesbian partners suffer too!

Kenneth L. Zwick, Director

I am saddened and ASHAMED that gays and lesbians are once again being
treated as 3rd class citizens in our country. This hurts me as a human
being, a citizen and a teacher. We are all Americans and all deserve
to be treated with respect and dignity, especially during such a tragedy
as the 9/11 bombings.

I am ashamed of my country in our treatment of gays and lesbians. Other
countries, especially in Europe have granted full human rights to gays
and lesbians. Why does it take so long for our country to treat everyone
fairly? WHY?

I urge all AMERICANS to stand for liberty and justice for ALL.
