Give Gay Survivors Their Due!

Please reconsider your policy of following state rules governing same-sex relationships and compensation for victims of the horrific Sept 11th attack. These are couples that are in every way equally interdependant emotionally, financially and materially as married couples. If they were allowed to marry, the would! IT IS UNJUST to not allow people to get married, and then deprive them of compensation because they are not married! I donated to this fund, but I wouldn't have if I knew that rightful beneficiaries would be denied because of discriminatory policies. A GAY HEART ACHES JUST LIKE ANYONE ELSE'S DOES! A GAY PERSON'S BILLS HAVE TO BE PAID ON TIME JUST LIKE ANYONE ELSE'S! A GAY DREAM DESTROYED BY TERRORISTS IS NO DIFFERENT THAN ANYONE ELSE'S! There MUST be a way to avoid hurting these survivors twice! PLEASE, use your compassion to guide you!
