Wednesday, March 13, 2002 9:50 AM Non-compensation for gay and lesbian partners Dear 9-11 Fund, I am outraged that partners of gay and lesbian people who lost their lives in the 9-11 attacks are not being allowed to receive money because of their sexual preference. I know that one argument is that "we are following the state law". I feel this should not even be considered. If the government is looking the other way for illegal immigrants then how can it not do the same here? Just because someone has a different sexual preference doesn't make them any different than the rest of us. They work hard, pay taxes and make contributions to society. They, just like all the other victims of 9-11, have suffered. They are no different. They should not be treated differently. They must be allowed to receive a check like everyone else. Thank you.
