September 11th

Please include among relatives eligible for compensation from the September
11th victims fund to those who lost their life partners as well as de facto
parents or children, without regard to sexual orientation or marital status.

The U.S. Government should follow the example already set by New York
Governor Pataki in granting compensation benefits "on a showing of mutual
interdependence with the victim, in recognition that anyone who shared with
the victim living expenses, day-to-day activities and the emotional bonds of
family deserves help in this time of need."
