Posted by JayZeeBMT on Tue Aug 3 17:02:04 2010, in response to Re: Landmarking of 45-47 Park Place denied, posted by Olog-hai on Tue Aug 3 16:31:46 2010. Not a whole community center, but certainly a fitting memorial to all the gays and lesbians killed at the WTC on 9/11 (there are more than you think), as a reminder that gays and lesbians died trying to save lives, just as their straight colleagues did.As a side note, death certificate #1 of the thousands of 9/11 victims, was assigned to Mychal Judge, OFM, an openly gay FDNY chaplain. He had removed his helmet to administer last rites to a dying firefighter, when a huge chunk of iron fell off the tower and struck him in the head. Father Judge chose to be there with us on that horrible morning, and at that moment, nobody gave a fig if he was gay or straight; they were just glad he was there to offer spiritual comfort. If he had survived, I think he'd have a gentle word or two for all those trying to stop the construction of a house of worship on what is widely considered to be sacred ground... |
