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. Wednesday, March 20, 2002 9:52 AM discrimination is un-American. To: Kenneth L. Zwick, Director Office of Management Programs Civil Division U.S. Department of Justice Main Building, Room 3140 950 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington, DC 20530 We are outraged that gay and lesbian partners of those who died on September 11 are not going to receive the same benefits as heterosexual spouses. &nbsp and so many more men and women were heroes of 9-11 leaving behind loved ones dependent upon them for love and support. Many of the heroes were lesbian, gay, bi-sexual and transgendered - heroes all. No different than the straight fallen heroes of that horrific day. Please do not dishonor they memory by denying benefits to their loved ones just as you would no deny benefits to the loved ones of the straight heroes. If that day taught us anything it was that no discrimination was made in selecting those to perish. No discrimination should be made in selecting those to honor or those loved ones who are deserving and in need of support regardless of sexual orientation or gender presentation. We are outraged that this discrimination is even under consideration. You must do the right thing and treat all equally.
