Thursday, March 14, 2002 1:12 PM Unfairness Although I was not someone who was directly effected by the events of September 11th, I believe the story that is told below is an absolute case of discrimination. Being a gay women, I am appalled and saddened by the ignorance I see and hear every day in things I read in the newspaper, hear on the news, or hear in my surroundings about the discrimination of homosexuals in America. And now, the US government is willing to discriminate against us yet again with something as important as this. Yet, an illegal alien will be overlooked and so will their employers. What is going on in this country??? We need to band together, not separate out those we don't understand. I am very proud to be a United States citizen. I except the challenges that the world presents to me because I am "different", but this is just a slap in the face that I can't let go without voicing my opinion. I hope the government rethinks this issue, and asks how they would feel if it were something that was held from them. How would they feel to not be recognized because they were black, gay, divorced, physically or mentally challenged or any other thing that would make them "different". I would guess, probably not so great. Thank you for your time.
