fair treatment for surviving partners of LGB victims

Dear madam or sir:

I am writing to encourage your department in the strongest possible terms to
REQUIRE FAIR AND EQUAL TREATMENT FOR THE SURVIVING PARTNERS OF LESBIAN, GAY,
AND BISEXUAL VICTIMS OF THE 9/11 TRAGEDY.

How can the Department of Justice call itself by that name if the victim
compensation rules promote injustice by discriminating on the basis of
sexual orientation. Is the grief of these surviving partners any less than
that of heterosexual spouses?

Please do all you can to ensure that the policies require fair and equal
treatment for ALL surviving partners.

Thank you,
