Monday, March 11, 2002 1:57 PM US Denial of 9/11 Fund Monies to Gay Americans To whom it may concern, I have just become aware that gay and lesbian partners of the Sept. 11 tragedy victims are Not eligible for benefit checks issued by the US government 9/11 Fund. It is my understanding that even illegal immigrant partners are to step forward to receive their checks. Our American Heroes who helped save lives, gave their own or were senseless victims are no less deserving because they were homosexual. Kenneth Feinberg's denial of benefits by weakly deferring to individual state's treatment of gay and lesbian citizens is WRONG. These partners are No Less traumatized by the loss of their loved ones than any other person and are No Less deserving of the same treatment as any other Human Being. This is an outrage and will not be tolerated by the US gay community and any other sane, feeling person who believes in Human Rights.
