Equal compensation for Gay people, now!

one of the heroes from United Airlines flight 93 that went down in Pennsylvania on September 11th, was a Gay man. Eulogizing at his memorial Sen. John McCain said "I may very well owe my life to and the others who summoned the enormous courage and love necessary to deny those depraved, hateful men their terrible triumph. Such a debt you incur for life." Because of him and many others on that flight a good many of you, to whom this letter is addressed, are still alive, too. Do not forsake him and the other Gay people who died that day by not recognizing their loved ones. It was not by choice that those Gay people who died and their life-partners were not joined legally in marriage. Indeed, they didn't have a choice. You do; see that justice is done!
