discrimination of gays and lesbians unfair-911

to whom it may concern,
i recently learned that the domestic partners of those heroes who fell in
september 11 will not be receiving the same benefits as others, based soley
on the fact that they are homosexual. it terrifies me to know that had i
lost my life on that day, my partner would not receive a thing. it is not
the compensation of benefits, etc. that is pertinent here. it is the
realization of a total lack of acknowledgement--as if to say--everyone else,
and that is EVERYONE, even an illegal alien is considered "worth it," and
their family deserving of benefits--but not the homosexuals! this is
completely heartbreaking.
