Tuesday, March 12, 2002 11:00 AM compensation for 9-11 When I donated money for the Sept 11 Fund, I had no idea that there would be discrimination against gay partners of the victims of the tragedy. This needs to stop immediately. I cannot believe in this time when we as a nation should be pulling together to fight evil we allow this kind of evil to exist. And no, I am not gay...I believe in the rights of all Americans.......I can't help but wonder how partner must feel.....he is being praised as the hero he was and yet what exactly did he die for....I would think he made the decision to fight the terrorist just as the others did because he believed in this country, in what we stand for. To think that his partner would be treated differently than any other bereaved spouse makes me sick. Shame on all of you for your decision to exclude gay partners for their rightful share of the money I sent. Your decision is based on fear.....the same fear that existed in the hearts of the terrorists. I will send no more money to your fund and will spread the word until I have received clear evidence that you have changed your policy.
