info. I have received on lack of payments of donations to gay victims

I have received certain information that would lead me to believe that
compensation to the victims of 9/11 will exclude members of the gay and
lesbian community. As a heterosexual in this global community of ours it is
my opinion that any committed relationship of (as in the heterosexual
community per government and accepted practices) over 7 years is a common law
husband or wife. I believe the same should apply to all victims in this
case.

Didn't the aftermath of this tragedy teach us that above all else, we are
truly ONE? NO DISCRIMINATION!!!!!! A gay man or woman may have saved
countless lives, died selflessly or been an equal victim of circumstance -
they are no less valuable, their lives no less valid than some heterosexual
or immigrant without a green card. \n
Compensate all equally!

Sincerely,

Individual Comment
