September 11th Fund


I didn't see Meet The Press yesterday, but word is
getting out that relatives of victims of the 9/11
attacks will benefit from the September 11th Funds -
all of those except partners of gay victims. It's
even being said that illegal aliens will benefit.

Why will victims who are here illegally and who
violate federal law benefit - but gay victims - who
ARE American citizens - won't? Why is it that lawa
are being applying to gay victims but not illegal
aliens?

The blatant hostility and hatred towards gays in this
country is just amazing - it's terrible! My gosh -
these are human beings and their families suffered
just as much as any other family.

Gays bleed just as much as straight people do.
Gays work as hard as straight people do.
Gays pay their taxes just as hard as straight people
do.
Gays worship just as straight people do.
Gays love just as straight people do.
Straight people GIVE BIRTH to gay people!

Why is it that gays are being targeted and not allowed
to benefit from the September 11th fund?

We've been through this type of hatred before towards
the violations of African Americans - haven't we
learned ANYTHING from that?
