gay discrimination


My previous email was to brief.

As an American and as a voter, i am absolutely
disgusted and infuriated by the fact that Mr.
Ashcroft's Justice Department plans to discriminate
against gay people when distributing 911 funds. It is
even more infuriating that ILLEGAL aliens will be
eligible for funds, but not American citizens, due
solely to the fact that they are gay or lesbian. You
should be ashamed of yourselves. And I guess you are;
when I called up to complain about this, the operator
herself told me she was horrified by this policy.

It is well known that &nbsp , one of the men who
brought down flight 93, which was headed for
Washington, was gay. You do a disservice to his
memory with your bigoted decision.

I will be forwarding the article to EVERYONE I know.
And for your information, I'm not gay. i just know
what bigotry is when i see it.
