Saturday, March 16, 2002 4:02 PM Discrimination is wrong hello, I am dismayed to hear that the families of lesbian or gay victims of the Sept 11 calamity are going to be treated differently -- and in fact, as in ordinary day-to-day life, are going to be treated as unimportant and "less than". An extraordinary amount of money was given by generous Americans, to be distributed to the families of victims. This is no time for government-sponsored homohobia to determine how much a grieving family member has to watch go to other "real" families. I think this is disgraceful, and truthfully I don't know any of you can sleep at night, if you are part of this injustice. It is time to redefine 'family', to include, not just fetuses and illegal aliens as well as conventionally married people, but people whose strong bonds of love and commitment DEFINED them as "real" families, regardless of the legalities.
