Tuesday, March 12, 2002 11:01 AM Benefits denied to gay partners To whom it may concern: I have heard a disturbing item about the benefits being paid to the Sept. 11th victims' families. Specifically, the gay victims. I thought I should drop you a quick note to let you know that I disagree with the policy to deny benefits to the domestic partners of the gay heroes of this American tragedy. I am a straight woman. One of my striaght male friends died on the United flight in Pennsylvania...right alongside . If my friend's wife is entitled to benefits, then so should partner (if he had one) or the partner of any other gay man or lesbian who died that day. Having heard that benefits will be given to persons who were in this country ILLEGALLY, but not to homosexuals is apalling! I ask that you rethink this deplorable policy. It is hateful and unfair.
