Wednesday, November 21, 2001 1:20 PM Compensation to Victims of September 11th Kenneth L. Zwick, I write to ask that the federal government not discriminate against families which do not met the traditional definition. We live in a multi-faceted nation where not everyone fits neatly in the a Judo-Christian model. Many of those who died had established loving relationships without the benefit of marriage. The partners of these people have suffered as grave a lose as those who formalized their love in a marriage ceremony. To now deny financial support to these grieving people would be immoral. I do not have to agree with someone's lifestyle to understand that their love is held just as dear as mine. According individuals fair and just treatment even thought we disagree with them is the American way. The people who died September 11th died because they were in the most democratic nation on earth. That democracy requires that we treat people equally.
