Benefits for Gays and Lesbians


To whom it may concern:

Please reconsider your position in denying benefits of the September
11th fund to the partners of gays and lesbians. This is a discriminatory
position, and certainly not one in keeping with the spirit of naitonal unity
people embraced after September 11th. The partners of gays and lesbians
lost loved ones just like everyone else, and now is the time to say to those
who lost loved ones that we as a society value them and that their loved
ones did not die only so that gays and lesbians could be discriminated
against further. Being generous with this fund is the right thing to do. I
hope the government will do the right and decent thing.
