9/11 Benefits
To whom it may concern,
I have just been made aware that citizens who lost their same sex partner in
the horrific 9/11 events will not be receiving the same benefits as those who
lost their "heterosexual" partner on that horrific day. As an American, this
concerns me. We have unborn fetuses and illegal aliens receiving more
compensation from the fund than two same sex people who promised their lives
to each other. I believe all who lost loved ones should be compensated, and
it absolutely stuns me that you would intentionally exclude a group of
people. It's not for you or anyone else to judge whether the "heterosexual"
partner who died is a greater loss than the "homosexual" who lost their
partner. Please reconsider for the benefit of all Americans. We all live
here, we all pay our taxes, and we all love America regardless of Race,
Creed, or Sexual Orientation.
Sincerely,
