Monday, March 11, 2002 8:38 AM 9/11 Justice for Gays Dear President Bush, I am extremely angry and saddened by the position taken by the Justice Department regarding victim compensation for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender persons who died during the events of September 11th. Kenneth Feinberg,the head of the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund, has stated that for all intents and purposes the domestic partners and children of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender persons who died on 9/11 will not be compensated in the same manner as the partners (spouses) and children of heterosexual persons who died in the events of that tragic day. On this, the six-month, anniversary of that terrible day, I respectively urge you and your administration to do the just and humane thing: fully compensate the families of all victims in the same manner, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. Do not engage in a blatant act of discrimination and injustice. Do not increase the pain and suffering people have already suffered. You are the President and leader of ALL American's. My life and the work of our organization is completely devoted to achieving full and complete rights for all American's regardless of race, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity.
