Subject: Are homosexual marriages legal in New York or Washington D.C.

I am totally outraged that obviously on Dec 13, the gay community
decided to flood this message board with comments to the affect that it
would be un-American to not consider illegitmate marriages and
children. Can't we at least show some consideration first for people
like my brother-in-law who was not only an American hero, he was a
legally married man for 18 years with 2 legitimate children, 18 years in
the Army working in an appointed position in the Pentagon when he was
murdered. Sometimes I think people who call themselves American go too
far. Please show some respect for the American institution for legal
marriage and for decent people with morals and strength of character.
Do not insult his death and others like him by insinuating that just
because somebody was living with someone gives them any legal rights to
a claim here.
