9/11 Fund Dispersement Discrimination

I have received information detailing the policies of the Victim's
Compensation Fund that are discriminating against the families of gay victims.

I contributed to this fund and I am gay. I find this policy completely
offensive, more so since the Fund is so willing to overlook existing laws
regarding illegal aliens, who are not U.S. citizens! Can you overlook the
significant role that gay citizens played while acknowledging the value of
other human lives that fateful day?

What does this say about the administration of a Victim's Fund that
victimizes and discriminates against a particular group of citizens? Shame,
shame, shame. You have failed your mission, and you have failed the citizens
who have sacrificed their lives and deserve your gratitude. I expect this
offensive stand to be corrected. I will be watching, as well as many other
people who have received my e-mail and who have also contributed to your
fund. I will not foget this, in my future donations and in the voting booth.
We are ALL citizens here.

Sincerely,
Individual Comment
