Compensation for Gay Survivors
It has recently been brought to my attention that disbursement of compensation
from the 9/11 Fund may not be made to the surviving partners of gay persons.
I further read that part of the rationale for this non-action is that the Federal Fund
must adhere to the laws of individual states.
While I do not advocate disregard for laws, it seems to me that Federal officials
must demonstrate the same level of heroism and risk-taking as did those who died
in the terror attacks.
Please rethink the Commission's stand regarding payments to gay partners and
treat all Americans with fairness and respect.
