Title A name given to the resource Department of Justice Emails Description An account of the resource The Department of Justice received more than 11,000 e-mails in response to the agency's public solicitation for comments upon its plans to distribute the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund of 2001 established by Congress to benefit the victims of September 11 and their families. These e-mails have been organized here by date. September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end. Sunday, March 17, 2002 7:06 PM Discrimination against gay and lesbian families is unAmerican Attachment 1: Why is the Sept. 11 victim compensation fund not giving funds to the families and partners of gays and lesbians who were killed on Sept. 11th? This is a grave misjustice on the governments part. Does the U.S. government believe that these victims are not truly American and so deserve to be treated as second class citizens? I hope not. Shame on the U.S. government for not recognizing these heroes as equal to any other hero who died on Sept. 11th. Shame on the US government for discriminating in this disgusting manner. Families are families whether they are homosexual or heterosexual. All families feel the same pain when a family member is lost. The partners of gay victims should be compensated exactly the same as the partners of heterosexual victims. Stop the discrimination. Please make me proud of the U. S. government again.
