compensation for lesbian, gay, transgendered and bisexual
partners of victims

From what I understand, the long term domestic partners of lesbian, gay,
transgendered and bisexual victims of the Sept. 11 attacks on the US, will
not be compensated in any way by the federal victim's fund. I also
understand that even though the fund will not be helping these deserving US
citizens who's lives have been disrupted, the fund will be assisting illegal
aliens and fetuses, neither of which are US taxpayers like the gay americans
the fund is discriminating against. Doesn't taxation require equal
representation? Not in Taliban Afghanistan and apparently not in the US
either.

Sincerely,


Individual Comment
