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.That's ridiculous. PEOPLE saved other's lives, not "gays, straights, blacks, or hispanics". Should we have a memorial for the blacks that died their saving people, or the WHITES that died their saving people, or the WOMEN that saved people. Why does everything have to be divided up into groups. PEOPLE saved others, not "gays, straights, or whatever. nobody gave a fig if he was gay or straight; they were just glad he was there to offer spiritual comfort. Of COURSE they didn't. And they don't care today. They don't need a "memorial dedicated to the gays that died there". Do you ever walk into a "store" as a MAN, instead of a "Gay Man"? It seems that being gay has to take up every aspect of everything you do. I don't walk into a store as a "straight man", I walk in as a man, but they way you talk here, it seems that you walk in as a "gay man". I just don't understand it. 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... For a group of people in a Religion practiced in many parts of the world that wouldn't think twice about beheading him or mutilating him simply because of who he was (a gay man). |
