Dear Mr. Zwick:
I am writing in response to the Department's request for public comments
regarding the upcoming regulations for implementing and administering the
"September 11 Victim Compensation Fund." I strongly urge the Department
to draft regulations that ensure compensation is available to *all* victims
of the attack, including the committed partners and the non-biological
children of gay and lesbian victims.
It is unquestionable that the devastating grief and economic losses
suffered by the families of gay and lesbian victims are no less than that
of other families. Just as the terrorists drew no lines in choosing their
victims, our country must draw no lines in compensating those who suffered
the most personal of losses from these horrific attacks.
Many Americans lost their lives on September 11, each of whom left behind
loved ones. I urge the Department to honor these bonds by treating the
families of gay and lesbian victims as you would any other.
Sincerely,
Individual Comment
Brookline, MA
