Victims of Sept 11
It is my understanding that it is being considered NOT to give aid to
surviving gay & lesbian families of the September 11 event.
Does this mean all of the radio & television cover with the President
espousing compassion & patriotism & affection for those who died - all
propaganda....
Whether gays & lesbians are legally seen as married or not - is one issue -
whether their surviving mate is left penniless because they were the
caregiver of children - or unable to work - or supported by their mate or
whatever reason....
They are not any less an American, any les a human - suffering a profound
loss - nor any less a victim of terrorism..
I urge you to drop the politics & react as a human to the tragedy & allow
gay couples the same relief as any other couple..... American couple... Gay
straight, Black white, Muslim, Christian, Jewish..... All Americans were
hurt.... All Americans.
