Title A name given to the resource Department of Justice Emails Description An account of the resource The Department of Justice received more than 11,000 e-mails in response to the agency's public solicitation for comments upon its plans to distribute the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund of 2001 established by Congress to benefit the victims of September 11 and their families. 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. Monday, March 18, 2002 2:45 PM Gay and lesbian partner compensation To Whom It May Concern, It's an outrage that the 9/11 Compensation fund excludes partners of gays and lesbians. There were many gay heroes on that day, including (who helped bring down the plane in PA) and (who died in the line of duty when the first tower fell), and countless others. We shame their heroism and their memory by neglecting their spouses who, just as their straight counterparts, are left to take care of their families and grieve in the wake of this grave incident. Rest assured that the gay community and the majority out there who support equity in compensation among all spouses and families will make their voice heard if this issue is ignored. This is simply prejudice, not just a legal matter. Because if were simply a legal matter, we wouldn't be giving compensation to the families of illegal immigrants. Do the right thing and include all families who lost loved ones that day. It's less than American to do anything else.
