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. Monday, March 18, 2002 7:00 PM 9/11 Kenneth L. Zwick: I am saddened that the tragedy of 9/11 has not reached the hearts and souls of those offering assistance. How can you discriminate against the partners of the gay and lesbian victims? How in good conscience can you stand by and judge loving relationships? Would it not be the same as evaluating every heterosexual relationship and base your decision of whether or not to give assistance depending on the quality of the relationship. Judge that every heterosexual relationship that was heterosexual and married but separated could not have assistance because their relationship was already on it's way out? What gives you the right to judge anyone's love for another? Are you basing it on a piece of paper? Where is your compassion? Gay and lesbian people died September 11th, they are worthy of any and all assistance. It's time you took responsibility for your actions. One day you and your administration will die just like those of the 9/11 tragedy, no one escapes God's law. When you and those involved with the policy for your program have to answer for your convictions, what will you say? I judged that it was wrong so I didn't give the partners assistance or I wanted to give assistance to the partners but there was establishment issues in the way and I kept my mouth shut.
