protest treatment of gays/lesbians


At a time of healing and a time of broad support for all victims of the
atrocious attacks on 9/11...it is inconceivable to me that you would not
extend your support to the partners of gays and lesbians that lost their
lives in the twin towers and pentagon and aboard the planes. To
discriminate nationally against such persons because their particular
state might not yet recognize their relationships while at the same time
recognizing illegal aliens is so counterproductive to be unbelieveable.
I urge you to reconsider. I do not think that you will get an
overwhelming response from members of the gay and lesbian community.
But that should not stop you from soliciting them as equal in suffering
before the law. Shame on you for ignoring these people.
