Mr. Feinberg:

I heard today, with more than a little dismay and
disgust, that your organization intends to deny
partners of homosexual vicitms of September 11 the
benefits that are to be paid to illegal immigrants and
non-citizens who also lost family members in the
attacks.

Can you explain to me how you justify this? I was
under the impression that the September 11th Fund was
created to ease the financial burden of victims'
spouses and loved ones. Are you and your collegues
suggesting that the gay spouses and loved ones are
somehow less deserving of our help and compassion?
That homosexuals who died on the 11th due to the
intolerance and hatred of a group of people are of
less value? Are you really prepared to perpetrate
intolerance and demonstrate such a stunning lack of
compassion? What drives this decision of the Fund?
Misguided and narrow-minded morals? A personal agenda?
Finances? Please tell me how you can turn your back on
Americans like , one of the heros of
Flight 93, and his loved ones.

I am saddened and angered by the September 11th Fund's
policy. I urge you to search your heart, and change
your mind.
