Help ALL the Victims of the September 11 Attacks

Kenneth L. Zwick, Director
Office of Management Programs, Civil Division
U.S. Department of Justice

Dear Mr. Zwick:

I am writing in response to the Department's request for public comments regarding the forthcoming regulations for implementing and administering the "September 11 Victim Compensation Fund."

I strongly 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.

Many Americans lost their lives on September 11, each of whom left behind loved ones. I urge the Department to honor these bonds by treating the families of gay and lesbian victims as you would any other.

It is not our place to judge the morality of others. Let's leave that to a Higher Authority and remember that that same Higher Authority will one day judge us all.

Sincerely,

Individual Comment
Orlando, FL
