Protest 9/11 Fund Exclusion of Gays

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

Dear Mr. Zwick,

I am submitting a public comment to the 9/11 Fund. I want you to know that I am outraged that gay and lesbian partners of those who died on September 11 are not automatically going to receive the same benefits as heterosexual spouses. I understand this comment becomes a matter of public record and will be posted on the Victim Compensation Fund Web site.

This comment is sent to you in the memory of:


And so many more...

Don't let their deaths be in vain. Do the right thing and provide the benefits fairly to all those who have suffered from the loss of loved ones in this tragedy. Please make sure you are just to all and do not bow to the pressure of some of your political friends.

Thank you for your consideration.

Best Regards,

Individual Comment
