Dear Mr. Zwick:
As a citizen, taxpayer and proud Gay African-American, I am outraged that our gay heroes' life partners WILL NOT be compensated from the September 11th Victims Compensation fund.
Your decision is based on homophobia and a real slap in the face to the families of our fallen heroes. Exceptions are being made for undocumented aliens, as well as, the unborn fetuses. Yet, the families of Gay Americans are being overlooked.
This decision is clearly un-American and wrong. I urge you to include all of our heroes!
Sincerely,
Individual Comment
