Gay Victims Partners

It is unconscionable that the US Government has decided that the life
partners of gay and lesbian victims of the tragic events that occurred on
9/11 are invisible. The fund proposes to pay funds to non-citizen and
unborn victims' families, but not to the partners of some of the people who
gave their lives so that others could be spared? Given that Gays and
Lesbians have no way to register their relationships, it seems incredibly
unjust to penalize them for not being in a legally recognized relationship.

Stand United.....heros are heros.....love is love....enough is
enough......stop the prejudice that fuels hatred. Hatred caused the awful
events of 9/11.....have we learned nothing from this tragedy?
