Families of 9/11 victims fund

Dear Mr. Zwick,

Please include those who lost their life partners, parents, and children,
regardless of sexual orientation or marital status among relatives eligible
for compensation. Everyone who lost loved ones in the attacks of
September 11 is suffering, and it is extremely cruel to deny some family
members recognition of their losses and compensation because their
partner was of the same gender, they did not have legally recognized
connections to the children that they had parented and lost, or because
they lost a parent who did not have legal parenthood because
same-gender partners are not jointly legally recognized as parents. Out of
compassion and fairness, please provide compensation to everyone who
lost family members in the attacks. Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,
Individual Comment
