Thursday, November 29, 2001 1:27 PM Fair treatment for LGBT families Dear Mr. Zwick: I am writing to request that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender families who lost a family member in the tragic events of SEptember 11 are equally compensated for their loss. As a member of the LGBT community, I know that our families often do not get the legal recognition that they deserve. I am urging you to make sure that those of us who lost loved ones are treated the same as our heterosexual counterparts. Our loss is real and so are our families. Thank you for your consideration. P.S. Let's not forget that one of those brave souls on the flight which crashed in Pennsylvania was a gay man that risked his life to save many others. Do not do him a disservice by allowing homophobic attitudes to prevent families from getting the compensation that they both need and deserve.
