Compensation for Survivors of Gay & Lesbian Victims of 9/11
Ladies and Gentlemen:
It has come to my attention that survivors of gay and lesbian victims of the
9/11 disaster will not be compensated by your fund on an equal basis with
survivors of other 9/11 victims. For example, the fund has indicated that
compensation will be paid to illegal aliens and that immigration violations
will be overlooked. Yet the fund seems to maintain that, when it comes to
gays and lesbians, State laws will not be similarly overlooked. This
discrimination is a travesty and must be rectified.
