discrimination against gay survivors
To whom it may concern,
I find it appalling that the 9/11 fund would take the lead of homophobic
state law and give surviving gay partners NO BENEFITS. The fund should
compensate the same sex partners of those who died on 9/11. Period. Those
people are just as grief-stricken, just as lost and just as victimized as
any other survivors, if not more so because of discrimination like that the
9/11 fund is perpetuating. Any result short of providing compensation to
the same-sex survivors of those who perished is a sorry statement on the
state of American compassion.
Please. Do the right thing.
