Saturday, March 16, 2002 2:26 PM September 11 Fund I am very saddened to once again see my gay, lesbian and transgendered brothers and sisters be discriminated against. It was said that the Director stated that gay and lesbian partners were not likely to be compensated as well as heterosexuals. Did die in vain? Did die in vain? Do we not now realize that life is too short for discrimination. You don't have to like what we do to respect us. You don't have to espouse our ideals to give us space and the freedom to live and love. As a gay man in Dallas, Texas with a partner of 25 years I proudly lift my head and say" Shame on You, Kenneth Feinberg". I hope you repent of your bigoted Republican ways and make a fair compensation offering for ALL people.
