Discrimination is un-American

i am outraged that gay and lesbian partners of those who died on September
11 are not automatically going to receive the same benefits as heterosexual
spouses.

In recent interviews, the head of the September 11 Victim Compensation Fund
(a fund created by Congress to help the families of those who died on
September 11) has made clear that the partners of gay and lesbian heroes of
September 11 will not necessarily receive the same benefits as the spouses
of heterosexual victims of the horrible terror attacks.

EVEN FETUSES AND ILLEGAL ALIENS ARE COVERED

Even fetuses and illegal aliens will be receiving benefits under this
problem - heck, they've even promised to overlook federal law and NOT arrest
and kick out the families of illegal aliens, nor will they punish American
companies that hired illegals in violation of federal labor laws.

But when it comes to gay and lesbian heroes of the day - we are told the
law is the law and no
exceptions can be made.

discrimination is un-American.
