Monday, March 11, 2002 4:28 PM What About The Gay American Heroes of September 11th ??????? GlacierAs a gay man and a citizen of this great country of ours, I sit in absolute disbelief after reading a newsletter from . This communication recounts the statements made on Sunday morning's "Meet the Press." Kenneth Feinberg, the head of the September 11 Victim's Compensation Fund (a program of the US Dept. of Justice), is planning on limiting what kind of compensation goes to gay and lesbian victims of the September 11 terrorist attacks. And the way the rules read, gays and lesbians will probably get nothing. Forget that , a gay man, was one of the heroes who brought United Flight 93 down in a field in Pennsylvania instead of on top of the US Congress, where it was supposedly headed. And forget that was gay, as was the that flew into the . No, according to John Ashcroft's Justice Department, apparently some heroes are more equal than others???? I find it very difficult at this time to even express the depth of my anger after reading these words. It's as though Ashcroft and the Fund are suggesting that gay Americans did not suffer as much as everybody else on September 11. I can tell you that I personally will never be the same person I was pre-September 11th and I think I would be safe in saying that none of my gay brothers and sisters will either! I think very pointed words speak for ALL GAY AMERICANS and as one taxpaying citizen of this great land of ours, I would like to know WHY this situation exists?
