COMPENSATION re: 9/11

I am writing in response to the Departments request for public comments
regarding the forthcoming regulation for implementing and administering
the Sept.11th Victim Compensation Fund. I strongly urge the Department
to draft regulation 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. These people have the same losses
as other families and know exactly the same grief and should not be
singled out for non compensation. I urge the
Department to honor these bonds by treating the families of gay and
lesbian victims as you would any other.

Sincerely,
