compensation for same-sex partners
Greetings,
The long-term live-in partners, whether same sex or opposite sex, of those
who were killed on 9/11 should be compensated in the same way married
couples are. I understand that certain federal laws are being overlooked
so that illegal aliens who are spouses or children of the deceased can be
compensated. I believe that the fact that our laws don't currently allow
gay or lesbian couples to legally marry should also be overlooked so that
remaining partners may receive the compensation to which they are ethically
entitled.
By the way, I am not a friend or relative of anyone who would benefit from
my suggestion. My second cousin died in the WTC, but she was married.
Thank you for your consideration,
