September 11 Victim Compensation Fund
Dear Mr. Zwick,
It is most important that the families of the gay and lesbian
victims of the September 11 tragedies be compensated on the same terms as
their married counterparts. Their families and lives were forever disrupted
and they have fewer social and economic supports to fall back on than do
those who are allowed to marry legally in this country.
Bereaved partners and children of those who were murdered deserve
every compassionate and financial consideration that is available to
heterosexual victim's families. To do otherwise is un-American.
