Tuesday, March 19, 2002 8:49 AM Gay Americans lost to on September 11th. I think it's the gravest injustice I've ever heard regarding the interview on Meet the Press that aired on March 10th. According to Kenneth Fienberg, head of the victims compensation fund for the September 11th event some Americans are likely going to be left out because of who they are. I think it's a travesty of justice and the personal beliefs of attorney general , John Ashcroft, and his department that will likely isolate the gay and lesbian citizens from recieving some compensation for the heartache and sorrow that so many Americans experienced on September 11th. In short Mr. Fienberg's comments that it will be ultimately up to each state to decide if gay and lesbian Americans will be compensated is a cop out. What will it take for this country and in particular our leaders in Washington to wake up and see that regardless of thier own personal feelings that all Americans suffered and lost on that day in September. Here's one gay American who hopes our leaders wake up.
