September 11th Victim Compensation Fund


I am writing to express my overwhelming disappointment in the decision
made by Kenneth Feinberg and the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund
committee. The decision regarding compensation eligibility of gay
partners who lost their loved ones in the September 11 tragedy is
mean-spirited and narrow-minded. This blatent discrimination of an
identifiable minority group of Americans is UN-American, bigoted, and
downright embarrassing. For a country that professes the desire to heal
with honor, pride, and integrity, a louder voice reigns true. This voice
is full of hypocrisy, prejudice, and injustice. People are people and
loss is loss- you all ought to be ashamed.
