9/11 fund
According to Kenneth Feinberg, most of those who died in the 9/11 attacks - including people who aren't even American citizens and were living in the US illegally - will be honored by the September 11th Fund as deserving of America's special recognition and thanks.
The sole exception will be gay and lesbian Americans, because Feinberg and the 911 Fund wouldn't want to do anything contrary to US law. (Unless of course it involves an illegal alien who isn't even American - then apparently it's okay to bend the rules.)
On this six-month anniversary of the attacks on the World
Trade Center and the Pentagon, Kenneth Feinberg and the
September 11th Fund are telling the American people that
regardless of whether a gay man was one of the four heroes on United Flight 93 who saved the US Congress and the White
House from utter annihilation, the 911 Fund plans to
discriminate against an American hero because most of the
country sanctioned such discrimination prior to September 11.
Shame on you.
