Dear Mr. Zwick:
I am writing in response to the Department' request for public
comments regarding the forthcoming regulations for implementing and
administering the "September 11 Victim Compensation Fund."
I urge the Department to draft regulations that ensure compensation is
available to all victims of the attack, including the committed partners and
the non-biological children of gay and lesbian victims.
I am not a homosexual. I am a physician, and acknowledge that those
who are of different sexual orientation than I are fellow humans and should
be treated as such. Their grief and economic loss is no less than that of any
others. I write because I know some prejudice exists in high places and gays
and lesbians may be considered deviant and therefore excluded.
Sincerely,
Individual Comment
Kodiak AK
