Friday, November 30, 2001 6:36 PM Kenneth L. Zwick, Director office of management program civil division US depart Dear Mr. Kenneth Zwick, My name is , and I am not a lesbian,homosexual,transgendered, or bisexual. I am a straight, white, middle class college student from Lincoln Nebraska. I received an e-mail stating the importance of contacting you so that partners are included in the money to be given to families and children who lost those close to them on the tragic day of September 11. During this time of terrorism and tragedy,I believe it is time for the U.S. government to take a stand, and truley stand united with all of the citizens of the U.S.A. What better way than to include those citizens who are not included in society's views as "family" because they are homosexual. Just because people are attracted to members of the same sex does not make them inhuman. They still lost those they loved and their pain is just as important to try to ease as a straight couple. I don't know if this e-mail will make a difference, but I thought that I might as well try. One more thing.. as we as a nation are trying to stamp out terrorism, why not look at the terrorism that strikes gays, lesbians, transgenders, and bisexuals everyday of their own lives. There are many terrorists in the USA that cause fear in many people close to me, through hate crimes, discrimination and prejudice. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Individual Comment September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written. 2001-11-30 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
