Compensate Lesbian & Gay Families

Dear Mr. Zwick:

Please ensure compensation to all victims of the attack, including the
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
Watsonville, CA
