Support Victim Compensation for Lesbians and Gays

Kenneth L. Zwick, Director
Office of Management Programs, Civil Division
U.S. Department of Justice

Dear Mr. Zwick,

I am writing to express my support for inclusive victim compensation for
partners and families of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered people
injured or killed in the devastation of 911. These individuals and families
have suffered the same physical, emotional, psychological and material losses
as their heterosexual counterparts.

If we as a nation choose to compensate people who have suffered in this
horrid situation, then all partners and families deserve to be compensated in
an equitable manner regardless of marital status or sexual orientation.

I hope you will see that justice is done in compensating victims of 911.
