Sunday, March 17, 2002 3:16 PM The partners of Gays and Lesbians killed in the 9/11 terroist attacts I am shocked and sickened by the distinctions you have made between heterosexual victims and homosexual victims on the 9/11 tragedy. How can any right thinking person, especially those to call themselves Christians, deny benefits to the partners of those who died in the terrorist attacks any less worthy of compensation for their losses than any other Americans. If you can ignore laws that pertain to illegal aliens and their employers, how can you justify not circumventing state laws to recognize the partners of homosexuals. I am not a homosexuals, but I support their rights on every level. If you can deny their rights, then how soon will it be before you start denying my rights as a 62 year old single woman. This government has already decided that I must be penalized for not being married by levying more taxes on single people without children than on married people without children. What is next. I implore you to reconsider this unconscionable decision. Shame on anyone who takes the position that homosexuals do not have the same rights as all Americans. What has become of our beloved country if you can make such distinctions.
