Monday, March 11, 2002 12:12 PM Re: Compensation I just got information detailing the distribution of funds from the 9/11 attacks, I am outraged that most Gay men and women will get absolutely nothing! Yes, I know that the official policy leaves it up to state law to determine whether Gay men and women will qualify, but since Gay relationships are not recognized by 99% of states in this country that leaves us very little. I have been a member of the Broadway company of for five years. In the days following the attacks, I went back to work because it was my duty. I took a pay cut to keep my job and to prevent the attacks from destroying a vital and important part of this city, which is the Broadway community. I cannot tell you how angry I am knowing that if I had lost my life in the attacks downtown that an illegal alien would receive compensation and the right to remain in the country, but my partner of seven years would not. I'm confused why it is appropriate to disregard State and Federal law in one instance, and not in the other. Even though this is an old argument I would like nonetheless to present it to all of you listening in Cyber World. I am Gay. I pay my taxes. I own my apartment. I give to charity. I gladly make sacrifices for my country and city. On a daily basis I provide entertainment for the hundreds of thousands of people that visit New York every week. I am part of why there is the great city of New York, and apparently I am worth nothing.
