Friday, March 22, 2002 12:32 PM Justice and equality for ALL To Whom It May Concern, The terrorist actions of September 11th have left an indelible mark on the American psyche. How we react to these acts of hate and war will define our legacy for generations to come. That said, I am appalled at our government's stance with regard to survivors of this tragedy. While benefits are being extended to citizen, non-citizens, and even illegal aliens, gays and lesbians are effectively excluded from support. We are NOT second-class citizens and there is evidence that were it not for one particularly BIG gay hero ( ), another plane-bomb would have struck killing thousands more Americans. In an age where it is unacceptable to make jokes dealing with the race, gender, or religious convictions of people, how can sexual orientation remain a valid target. We are all human beings; I would have hoped that the events of 9/11 would have convinced all Americans that all people deserve the same rights. If not, then what are we fighting for anyway? Only UNITED do we stand.
