Comments on the Department of Justice's Rulemaking Regarding
the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund of 2001
The outpouring of support from both public and private organizations to help
the victims of the September 11 attacks and their families has been
incredible. But these efforts have also underscored the vulnerabilities
that gay and lesbian couples face because their relationships are not
legally recognized.
Gay and lesbian partners and families have the same love and commitment that
other families have and they have experienced the same horrendous grief and
loss. Please follow the example of the American Red Cross, Governor Pataki
and Mayor Giuliani and do all you can to make federal relief efforts
available to gay and lesbian partners and families.
