Discrimination is un-American

To whom it may concern,

I am outraged that gay and lesbian partners of those who died on September
11 are not automatically going to receive the same benefits as heterosexual
spouses.

If September 11 has taught us anything, it's that our patriotism and love of
country transcend our differences and unite us all. We were told that
September 11 was the day that "hyphenated-Americans" were no more, and
rather than being Italian-Americans, African-Americans or gay-Americans,
we were now simply Americans, all of us together as one American family.

Discrimination is un-American. Please reconsider your decision.

Sincerely,


Individual Comment
