Wednesday, March 20, 2002 4:27 PM Treat Families of GLBT 9-11 Victims Fairly Dear U.S. Dept. of Justice, Is the Federal Government scared to do the right thing? OK, so perhaps you need to verify evidence of an existing, committed relationship on a case-by-case basis before you can compensate the surviving defacto family members of the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered (GLBT) victims of the 9-11 attacks. On the other hand, legally married survivors of 9-11 victims don't have the burden of proving the significance of their relationships, even when most of us have heard of sham marriages before. I have heard that the federal government is even willing to overlook the existing laws when it comes to compensating family members of illegal aliens who died in the 9-11 attacks. But you're afraid that states which don't recognize domestic partnerships are going to sue the federal government if you compensate the families of GLBT victims who were residents of those states? WHAT !!! The suffering of these survivors is as real for them as it is for the members of any other families who lost someone in the 9-11 attacks. Please do the right thing !!
