Compensation to gay victims' significant others
It has come to my attention that your organization has chosen NOT to make
any compensation to the partners of gays and lesbians who have been lost in
the September 11 attacks.
I do not know whether this is true or not. However, I do know that as a gay male
who has lost two lovers, it saddens me to think that the love I had, and the commitment
that we made (until death do us part) is not treated as equally as the love shared
by my fellow heterosexuals.
If it is true that your organization has chosen to exclude those homosexuals (there cannot
be that many of us in total) based upon the fact that there is no legal reasoning, I understand
the decision, however, I strongly disagree with it, and ask from the depth of my heart that you
reconsider.
Respectfully,
