Wednesday, December 05, 2001 1:24 PM Sept 11 Victim Compensation Fund Dear Mr. Zwick: I am a former US DOJ attorney. I recently heard that there is a proposed disparity in how the Victim Compensation Fund is to treat the loved ones of gay and lesbian victims as opposed to other victims' loved ones. Specifically, I was informed that the fund may not include the committed partners and non-biological children of gay and lesbian victims. With our national message of unity and compassion being the banner behind which we fight the destructive and evil acts of international terror, I can't believe that such a polarizing and unfeeling possibility exists. We must stand together to relieve the pain of those who have suffered direct loss as a result of the terror attacks of Sept 11, regardless of the sexual orientation of the victims or their loved ones. Please be sure to extend the compensation fund's coverage to include the committed partners and non-biological children of gay and lesbian victims. Thank you. Yours sincerely, Individual Comment September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written. 2001-12-05 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
