Victim Compensation Fund

Kennth Feinberg has made clear that the spouses and partners of gay-Americans killed in the September 11th attack will not necessarily receive the same benefits as the spouses of heterosexual victims. Even fetuses and illegal aliens will be receiving benefits under the program. How can this administration stoop to such discrimination and bigotry as to overlook federal law for both illeal aliens and their employers yet require strict adherence to any state law when it comes to gay heroes and Americans? In other worlds, when it serves the administration well to discriminate. I am outraged and disgusted that gay and lesbian partners of those who died on September 11 are not automatically going to receive the same benefits as heterosexual spouses. Are gay-Americans now less American?
Sincerely,
