Your comments regarding gay and lesbian compensation


On Sunday
morning's "Meet the Press," Kenneth Feinberg, the head of the September
11
Victim's Compensation Fund (a program of the US Dept. of Justice), is
planning
on limiting what kind of compensation goes to gay and lesbian victims of
the
September 11 terrorist attacks. And the way the rules read, gays and
lesbians
will probably get nothing. Forget that , a gay man, was one
of
the heroes who brought United Flight 93 down in a field in Pennsylvania
instead of on top of the US Congress, where it was supposedly headed.
And
forget that was gay, as
was
the . No, according to
John Ashcroft's Justice Department, apparently some heroes are more
equal than
others.

How disgustingly bigoted. I am contacting my representatives regarding
this issue at once.
