Wednesday, March 20, 2002 7:47 PM Victim Compensation Dear Mr Zwick: I have heard that the partners of gay and lesbian victims of 9/11 will not be provided equal compensation as the heterosexual victims partners. If this is indeed true, I wish to voice my disagreement with this policy. The gay partners are equal victims in this tragedy and diserve equal treatment. To allow for this kind of discrimination is, it itself, a form of terrorism. To deny these partners compensation would be denying them their right to exhist freely in this county, as the terrrorists denied the victims of 9/11 their right to live. Please, do not perpetuate this form of discrimenation. The tragic events of 9/11 have brought this county together in solidarity to defend the 'free' world. If the gay partners of the 9/11 victims are treated any differently than the other partners, this does not represent freedom and equality, those values that American so cherish. Thank you for your consideration regarding my concerns.
