Saturday, March 16, 2002 10:49 PM 9/11 Gay Partners of Victims Dear Mr. Feinberg: Personally and professionally, as a psychotherapist, I am deeply saddened and horrified that this country would consider that the gay surviving partners of people who died in the 9/11 tragedy are less deserving of compensation than other partners. I am writing to ask you to re-consider your policy regarding benefits to the surviving gay partners of the 9/11. This tragedy affected every American, and these families in particular do not need to experience further suffering due to being treated unworthy and less-than because they or their family member was gay. We Americans rallied in the midst of our grief to reach out to those in New York and all who were most closely affected--we rose to the occasion. Why would some people or organizations now stoop to demean and dehumanize a group of people--this is stooping to the level of 'the enemy' who zealously decided that those who are different (we Americans) deserve cruel and inhumane treatment? Please re-consider your policy.
