Tuesday, March 12, 2002 6:22 PM Kenneth Feinberg's appearance on "Meet the Press" I have heard about Kenneth Feinberg's appearance on the March 10 broadcast of NBC's "Meet the Press," and I am outraged. Do you realize how far behind the United States is on the issue of recognizing gay relationships? We are supposed to be the country of freedom, justice, and opportunity yet we lag behind countries such as Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Iceland, The Netherlands, France, and Germany who have already passed partnerships laws. Even Finland, Portugal, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Belgium, and Spain are considering passing such laws. What does it say about the land of the free that we still will not recognize the loved ones of gays and lesbians, especially when providing relief for such a tragedy as the deaths on September 11, 2001? Feinberg said that the United States is willing to over look those who have illegally entered our country and those who illegally employeed them, but the our country will not provide relief for its gay and lesbian citizens. How dare you to overlook them. Even the American Red Cross recognizes the need to provide relief for the partners of gay and lesbian victims. Some of those gay and lesbian victims are recognized as heros for their contributions and bravery that day including and . How could you deny the rights of your fellow citizens and their loved ones? I realize that I am merely a voice in the crowd, but I swear to you that I will use that voice to continuing fighting for respect and protection of ALL people. Do not miss your chance to honor the gays and lesbians lost. Do not deny their partners and families of the respect that others will recieve.
