Please, Equality for ALL survivors of terrorism.
Dear Kenneth Zwick, Director
Sometimes justice can be so easy. You simply apply the same standard to
everyone. Rather than having to grapple with the varying policies of 50
different state governments, you regard all the victims of the September
terrorist attacks in the same light. That
was gay does not diminish his heroism, his Americanism. To deny some victims
of the horrors of terrorism equal treatment because of their sexual
orientation only adds to the depths of the tragedy. Please never forget that
the proud name of the agency with which you work is Justice. Treat all the
victims/heroes the same in determining survivor benefits. They deserve no
less. The reputation of the United States as a land of fairness demands no
less.
Thank you,
