Sunday, March 17, 2002 3:03 PM 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.
