Remember 9/11

The seventh anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon is being observed in both New York and Washington today.
In New York, it will be marked near Ground Zero with four minutes of silence and the somber reading of the names of those who died that day. Both Barack Obama and John McCain will put away their political differences for a joint appearance at the ceremony.

It will be held at Zuccotti Park, a block away from the former World Trade Center site. Last year was the first time the memorial was held at the park and not Ground Zero, because of construction safety concerns.
A similar observance will be held at the Pentagon
The total GLBT number of deaths may never be known. Not all of the victims were ‘out’.
But the list of those who were out is crosses all strata of American life: from Mark Bingham, the ad agency owner who joined his fellow passengers on United Flight 93 to take on the terrorists, to Mychal Judge, the gay Catholic priest who died while giving the last rites to a fallen fireman at the World Trade Center, to a gay couple on their way home.
