Sept. 11 compensation fund

I am writing in response to the September 11th Victim Compensation fund.
I urge you to include among relatives eligible for compensation those who
lost their life partners or de facto parents or children, regardless of
sexual orientation or marital status.

Unfortunately the papers needed to legalize a marriage are not available to
Gay and Lesbian people, but that does not make their suffering any less than
those who have paper documents of their love and commitment.

Please consider all of the families that are struggling right now, not just
the traditional ones.

Thank you.
