Sept. 11 compensation fund comment on gays/lesbians


How sad, and heartbreaking to see that the office run by Attorney
General Ashcroft is showing it's true colors by trying to limit the
Sept. 11 funds paid to gays and lesbians, as told on Sunday morning?s
(March 10, 2002) ?Meet the Press? in an interview with Kenneth Feinberg,
the head of the September 11 Victim's Compensation Fund. Are we
forgetting that
, a gay man, was one of the heroes who
brought United Flight 93 down in a field in Pennsylvania instead of on
top of the US Congress, where it was supposedly headed. And forget that
NY Fire Department
was gay, as was the

of the plane that flew into the Pentagon. John McCain, by the
way, provided the eulogy for
. No, I'm not gay or lesbian,
just an intelligent and compassionate member of American Society. I'm
the mother of three grown children and five grandsons. Shame on you
people.
