Sunday, March 31, 2002 1:56 PM 9/11 compensation for same sex couples I have very little to say on this subject, but what I have to say comes with INTENSE feeling. What right does ANYONE have, most especially our corrupt government, to determine who makes up a "family?" It is NONE of our business whether the two people involved are of the same sex or not. If two people are committed to each other, they deserve ALL the same rights as a couple of opposite sexes. It is LUDICROUS that they can't get married and share all the rights simply based on the sex of ONE partner. The fact that they are denied ANYTHING is ludicrous and we, as a country, should be ashamed of ourselves. Denying compensation from an attack such as that of 9/11 is an even bigger embarrassment. Our government officials should be hanging their head in shame. We are a country of DEMOCRACY. We should not shut out ANYONE based soley on sexual orientation. After all, we allow beggers, thieves and illegals to live here and collect money. What does that say about us as a country? At least homosexuals work and pay taxes. For that alone they should be allowed as many rights as anyone else.
