Tuesday, March 12, 2002 10:19 AM This past weekend I saw the epsiode of Meet The Press that informed the people of the United States the horrifying news that loyal taxpaying AMERICANS and their heirs will not receive benefits for their suffering in the September 11th disaster because they happen to be gay. I wonder what Vice President Cheney feels about this, if his daughter had been in harms way, and god forbid had died, after a life of putting into the system, the partner she chose to liver her life with would not be receiving the widows benefits. This is clear discrimination. What have we worked for in our society? Did anyone at the Justice Dept. listen to the words of Dr. Martin Luther King? Please take a moment to re-read the "I Have A Dream Speech" and take a good look at our society today; at many points one can easily replace the word Negro with Homosexual. I am willing to accept that many Americans dont feel the sexual orientation of others may not be perfect for them, they can ban us from their personal homes and religious sservices that profess a faith not adhereing to homosexuality. BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tax paying AMERICANS, like &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp who laid down his life to protect the glorious symbol of freedom-The U.S. Capitol- so that her dome may shine as a Beacon of hope for the tired and weary of the world-is less than a hero, his partner cannot receive the comfort for greif that many of the millionares living in Tribeca will receive, simply because they lived near the affected area-not because they demonstrated their patriotism! This is an abhoration against everything that is AMERICAN!
