911 and GLBT Victim Compensation
I received this plea--and am passing it on to you.
We have until April 15,2002 to post our comments and views on the
Victim Compensation Fund and its denial of benefits to Gay and Lesbian
Survivors.
As a Ph.D. level psychologist working in the area of trauma, survivors and
gay/lesbian issues as well as general practice and substance abuse, I want
to add my voice to those endorsing compensation to victims of our nations
worst domestice act of terrorism no matter what their religion, ethnicity,
sexual orientation or other extraneous considerations. Let us put our
humanity first and our individual beliefs far down the line when working
with this level of human tragedy. Do not let the enemy win by sparking
divisions in the American people. We are people first and all else second.
