Title A name given to the resource Department of Justice Emails Description An account of the resource The Department of Justice received more than 11,000 e-mails in response to the agency's public solicitation for comments upon its plans to distribute the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund of 2001 established by Congress to benefit the victims of September 11 and their families. These e-mails have been organized here by date. September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end. Tuesday, March 19, 2002 3:45 PM 9/11 fund unfair to gays I am extremely upset and outraged that your group would not extend the same benefits to lesbian and gay partners of victims who died on 9/11 as are being provided to heterosexual partners, fetuses, and illegal aliens. How is it that you manage to draw the line with lesbian and gay partners in an effort to negate those relationships, even when you know nothing about them. No one seems to be worrying about the heterosexuals involved and the relationships they had. There are even identified lesbian and gay heroes for that terrible day and they have become important along with every other type of hero on 9/11, yet their partners are suddenly pushed into the background and not given benefits because others feel it is their right to discriminate against lesbians and gays. Someday, when reason and compassion prevail, this insanity and extreme prejudice will be seen in the same light as earlier prejudice and discrimination against other minorities. Until then, I protest this injustice and add my voice to those of others feelings disenchanted and outraged by this latest attempt to invalidate our efforts and further discriminate against lesbians and gay men.
