Support Compensation for Gay/Lesbian Partners of Victims

I urge you to support equal compensation to the partners of gay and lesbian
victims of September 11th. One gay man, , helped bring down the plane that might have otherwise crash-bombed into the Capitol. Hundreds more
died; their lives are just as valuable as the other victims. These were
mostly American citizens; we must treat their surviving partners with equal
consideration of legally-wed spouses.

I am a 7th generation American, born in Washington, DC, son of a major US
government official. I vote in every national, state, and local election. I
demand nothing less than equal treatment for my fellow gay and lesbian
citizens, both the victims of September 11th and their partners. Thank you.
