Wednesday, March 20, 2002 6:50 PM Sept 11th Victim Compensation Fund Dear Mr. Zwick, I am writing to express my outrage at the recent public comments about the September 11 Victim Compensation Fund. It is completely unacceptable that the partners of gay and lesbian heroes of September 11 will not necessarily receive the same benefits as the spouses of heterosexual victims of the horrible terror attacks. What a slap in the face to learn that while gay and lesbian partners of victims won't automatically receive equal benefits, the illegal aliens and fetuses of victims' partners will! It is outrageous to believe that gay and lesbian persons are of lesser value to our society than are unborn fetuses and illegal aliens. Those who believe in such injustice are completely prejudiced and homophobic. It is an embarrassment that you represent the American people! Reconsider the decision to provide gay and lesbian survivors with unequal, disproportionate compensation. Certainly our relationships mean more than whatever percentage you have determined we deserve as compared to the rest of the victims' families.
