9/11 Exclusion of Gays is Not Right

I am outraged that gay and lesbian partners of those who died on September
11, 2001, are not automatically going to receive the same benefits as
heterosexual spouses.

I am also outraged that the law will be overlooked for illegal aliens and
companies that employ them but NOT for gays and lesbians. Also, fetuses?
The child isn't even born but yet the family will still be compensated for a
child that doesn't exist yet? But yet gays and lesbians will not be
compensated for lost loved ones.

This is not right and the politicians know it yet they would rather make
their decisions on their own opinionated biases instead of listening to the
people that elected them.
