Compensating 911 Gays & Lesbian.....

March 17, 2002
To the September 11 Victim Compensation Fund,

This is an open letter to the trusties of the September 11 Victim
fund. I am appalled
that you are not considering compensation for the Gay and Lesbian
partners of those who died on September 11 and are not automatically
going to give the same benefits as heterosexual spouses. And yet,
you go against the state and federal laws and award compensation to
ILLEGAL ALIENS and promise not to deport them and not to go against
the company that hired them. This is appalling, on the gays and
lesbians you say you have to follow state laws and are not able to
compensate them (by law), while on the other hand you ignore the
federal and state laws on illegal aliens, also the companies that
hired them.
This is not the American way. These Gays and Lesbians are American
citizens and you are surly are discriminating against them. I am mad
as hell and will be forwarding this letter to the President, my
Senators and Representative for their action or we will need to shop
around for better more compassionate law makers.
