Inequality: Taxation Without Equal Access To Benefits
In the United States gays are relegated to a second class citizenship status. One of the results of this is that we are not allowed to marry. Yet we pay full taxes even though things like Survivor benefits are denied us.
I found a site today which attempts to either get us equality or to have our tax burden partially removed (equal to the benefits we can not receive).
Check out this site http://www.secondclassaction.com for more information.

9/11: Just Dump The Gays Bodies Into The Trash
"Planners of a Wednesday night interfaith 9/11 memorial service in Utica, N.Y., removed the scheduled main speaker from the program because of his advocacy of gay rights, according to the Utica Observer-Dispatch.
The Utica Fire Department threatened to pull its participation in the memorial, titled "One Region United," if the Reverend Fred Daley were allowed to speak. Firefighters reportedly were upset because Daley had announced plans to host a special 9/11 remembrance mass for gay and lesbian Catholics on Sunday.
"Basically, I wanted him removed as the speaker," assistant fire chief Russell Brooks said. "All these other issues and crusades should not cloud what this one day is all about. September 11 is supposed to be a day of uniting and healing. I think it's very inappropriate for [Daley] to bring this to light on that day." -- Advocate News 9/11/2002
Like I've said before, there are certain people like Assistant Fire Chief Russel Brooks who probably think that gay victims should be thrown out with the rest of the trash. Don't like that? Perhaps you should let them know. Stop being bullied.
Contact the Utica Fire Department and let them know what you think of Assistant Fire Chief Russel Brooks: Non-Emergency Number: 315-731-2000
