Unequal compensation for victims & their families

I am outraged that while the Compensation Fund even extends help to the families of illegal aliens (which I do agree with), gay people's partners are not considered equals to heterosexual's spouses by the fund.

This kind of discrimination is shocking, and frankly, un-American. What about the partner of , the of the plane that crashed into the Pentagon? And why forget about the partner of , who was one of the men who help divert one of the planes from the hijackers' intended target? And what about the many others? Are they to be passed over while others just like them--except for their sexual orientation--are taken care of?
