Saturday, March 16, 2002 5:25 PM 9/11 Fund Exclusion of Gays To Whom This May Concern, I am writing to you out of great disappointment for the decision to limit compensation to the gay/lesbian partners of 9/11 victims. It is absolutely shameful of you to exclude these domestic partners. Unborn fetuses and illegal aliens are covered in you plan, but not gay/lesbian partners??!! Shame on you!! All victims of 9/11 gave and suffered equally. And still, you have the audacity to dole out compensation in an unequal manner. Discrimination is un-American. I strongly urge you re-visit your discriminatory policy regarding gay/lesbian domestic partners. I have already my multiple donations to organizations that benefit the victims and families of 9/11. However, I feel so strongly about your discrimination towards gays and lesbians that I will be certain to only give future donations to organizations other than your own. I will be certain to place my charity with those who are truly practicing it.
