Final Ruling on Compensation


March 28, 2002

As a Canadian, I was very heartened to read all the comments posted on this
site by US citizens to protest your government's ignorant and unconscionable
discrimination against gay members of society. Apparently it is seen as
politically OK to single out gays and lesbians and deny them and their loved
ones compensation like everyone else affected by the terrorist attack.

It is good to know that so many ordinary people value the American ideal
even if your so-called leaders do not. Keep up the fight. You may yet catch
up to other western democracies who can only look on with amazement at the
extraordinary irrational homophobia that grips some vocal minorities in the
US (alas including the Republican government).
