Title A name given to the resource Department of Justice Emails Description An account of the resource The Department of Justice received more than 11,000 e-mails in response to the agency's public solicitation for comments upon its plans to distribute the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund of 2001 established by Congress to benefit the victims of September 11 and their families. These e-mails have been organized here by date. September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end. Wednesday, November 28, 2001 3:35 PM September 11 Victim Compensation Fund. ??? Greetings We have taken the time to write you to make sure that the fund includes among relatives eligible for compensation those who lost their life partners or de facto parents or children, regardless of sexual orientation or marital status. The Gay, Lesbian, BI Trans community has been as devastated as every American and peaceful world community member devoted to peace and against terrorism People are people, Straight or gay. We love the same and are as devastated as other Americans who have suffered as loss due to 9/11 WTC disaster. imagine if you lost the person you love and share you life and finances directly as a result of this vicious attack. Now imagine that YOU are not recognized no matter how severe the loss or effect. What if YOU are losing your home and other losses. Not very pleasant. Thus the need for inclusion in aid as YOU would desire, no, REQUIRE in similar circumstances. You dont have to like nor endorse the GLBT community to recognize and be compassionate in these times. Perhaps we are even more devastated as we are not as 'protected' under most laws so we must speak out and urge to be counted as anyone who suffered direct loss. We have suffered financially as well. We ask not for 'special rights' we ask to be included and counted as people with the 'same rights' as others. Its that simple. Thus we urge the Department of Justice to adopt rules that are inclusive of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and Transgendered people and their families who suffered from the attacks.
