Monday, March 18, 2002 1:27 PM Sept.11 Victim Compensation Fund and GLBT? Kenneth L Zwick I am outraged that this fund will not include as equals the gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transsexual victims in the dispersal of these monies. Some of the heroes of that fateful day were gay; , , and to name the three best known at the forefront of heroic actions that took place on September 11, 2001. Many more victims were gay and lesbian, some of which were accompanied by their adopted children. If we are truly a nation where ALL are SAID to be EQUAL (although we all no the truth to be quite the opposite) I suggest that we let this horrible, tragic, and senseless terrorist act serve as an end to discrimination of minorities by a government supposedly elected to serve ALL the people. People died just like soldiers in battle in a war that they didn't choose. We consider ourselves a just and fair nation - the paragon of Democracy, so how could we not consider all of these noble victims with equal treatment in the compensation allocated by the government of ALL the people. It is a widespread accepted fact that none of us CHOOSES our sexual orientation. I hope that you choose to disregard orientation in the dispersal of the fund. Thank you.
