eligibility for victim comp fund

Good afternoon.

I have been informed that the government is declining to aid the homosexual
partners of victims who died in the Sept. 11 tragedies. This is simply an
outrage to learn that the U.S. government has found yet another way to deny
gay and lesbian people of the same rights as heterosexual people. Since the
government is trying to show the nation and the rest of the world how
patriotic we all are, I would suggest that it doesn't continue to
participate in those activities that in effect actually divide the American
people. I wouldn't call that being patriotic; I would call that being
hypocritical. Please reconsider your stance on this issue.

Thank you,
