September 11th Victims Fund

To the Director of September 11th Victims Compensation Fund:
As a citizen, taxpayer and proud Gay African-American, I am outraged that our
gay heroes' life partners WILL NOT be compensated from the September 11th
fund. Your decision is based on homophobia and a real slap in the face to
the families of our fallen heroes. Exceptions are being made for
undocumented aliens, as well as, the unborn fetuses. Yet, the families of
Gay Americans are being overlooked.

This decision is clearly un-American and wrong. I urge you to include all of
our heroes!

Sincerely,
Individual Comment
New York, NY
