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. Saturday, March 30, 2002 10:55 PM Attachment 1: to the united states department of justice: it is a sad reflection on our government and our nation when the partner of a victim of the world trade center tragedy cannot recieve compensation because they are of the same sex. these are people that shared love, lives, and memories with someone who has been killed, and because they happen to identify as a sexual minority, they are denied compensation available to others. unfortunately, this federal decision has caused much controversy within the queer-identified community collective, because immigrants (incuding those not legally recognized as such) are recieving benefits when gay citizens are not. The federal decision to deny this compensation to the queer community has spurred not only anger and fear, but has also brought up ethnocentric ideations which spread more bitterness into our nation's rapidly crumbling web of humanity. all this prejudice, when what we need most in this time are the emotional tools necessary to propogate healing and growth. i condemn the intolerance of the united states department of justice. you have made a decision that blocks a passage to growth, and have hurt so many of us still suffering and in grief. wake up, love this, and live short, sweet existence for what it is. thank you.
