Sunday, March 17, 2002 8:54 PM Victims Fund To whom it may concern: We are writing to express our utter dismay and disappointment with the recent announcement of the exclusion of gay and lesbian victims' family rights to access to the September 11 Victim Compensation Fund. This exclusion is clearly discriminative and shows that the U.S. still has a long way to go to be fully inclusive of every type of American that this country consists of. It simply is not fair that relationships between gay and lesbian Americans are totally unrecognized, while unborn children and illegal immigrants are eligible for access to the fund. We truly hoped that in the shadow of this great tragedy, America would no longer tolerate such injustice and inequality. It is our sincere wish that you change the current status of the fund and honor the memories of the many gay and lesbian victims of September 11 such as , , and , as well as their surviving families and partners.
