9/11 Fund and Gay/Lesbian Americans

As a tax-paying American citizen, I am appalled at the treatment gay and
lesbian partners are receiving from the Fund. Many of these citizens have
been in long-term committed relationships for years and deserve the same
treatment as other survivors.
It has been said that the Fund is willing to "bend the rules" for other
groups, including illegal immigrants and corporations who have hired illegal
immigrants. However, when it comes to gay and lesbian survivors, they have
been told that "rules are rules". How dare you!!! As a citizen who is
contributing to this Fund, I demand that you treat everyone equally or not
at all. Always remember this, SOMEONE YOU KNOW AND LOVE IS GAY OR LESBIAN.
