Compensation for partners of Gays and Lesbians

Dear Mr. Feinberg,

I find it appalling that the partners and children of gays and lesbians killed in the 9/11 attacks will not receive that same compensation as those of heterosexuals killed that day, unless their state recognizes same-sex unions. You have said that undocumented aliens -- present in the U. S. in violation of federal law -- will be compensated without penalty to themselves or their employers. Surely the partners and children of gays and lesbians are no less worthy of our compassion.
