Compensation fund must include gay families..

To Whom it may concern,
I'm asking the justice department to include among relatives eligible for
compensation those who lost their life partners as well as de facto parents
or children, without regard to sexual orientation or marital status.
I'm asking the government to follow the example already set by New York
Governor Pataki in granting compensation benefits "on sharing of mutual
interdependence with the victim, in recognition that anyone who shared with
the victim and the emotional bonds of family deserves help in this time of
need"
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

Sincerely,
Individual Comment
