disgusted

Hello,

I have heard that you will not be giving the same reparations to families
and partners of gay and lesbian relationships. I think this is disgusting
and people like you make me ashamed to be an American. It is not your right
to judge people, but you were elected to treat them fairly, that is your
job, that is what we pay you for. Even people who are not Americans, illegal
aliens are going to be given more than these gay and lesbians...I am glad
that we are taking care of people who are not American who suffered in this
attack, but to omit or treat differently a group of people because you don't
like who they sleep with is frankly unconstitutional. Many gay and lesbian
lives were lost, many of whom fought bravely to save us from even more death
and disaster. I would think that we as Americans should embrace our
differences and have more compassion for our peers as we would the the
people we love in our own lives. I will continue to protest this and I will
make it known on my website and I will march on Washington if I have to. You
are not God, you are the government, you are acting a lot like the people
who caused this tragedy to begin with. The Taliban executed gay and
lesbians, you are acting much like they did executing their inalienable
rights, trying to make them invisible and unimportant, remember this...gays
and lesbians are a part of your community whether you like it or not, they
vote and they contribute significantly to our economy. And contrary to what
you might think no one knows the word of God, no man has the right to judge
another human being as God would, just who the hell do you think you are?
This is the meat of what revolutions are made of.
