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 2:52 PM Discrimination is distasteful I am writing to express my outrage at learning of the blatant discrimination that is prevalent in the ruling by the Victim Compensation Fund regarding payments to all victims' loved ones EXCEPT those victims who happened to be gay or lesbian. This is simply unacceptable. As a country which touts ourselves to be the land of free and the home of the brave, I find this ruling to be in direct contradiction to both. The land of the free should mean that everyone is allowed to love whomever they love. And the land of the brave should encompass everyone who stands up for what they believe in. This includes , one of the heroes who stopped an attack on Washington. just happened to be gay. This ruling dishonors his memory and his heroic deeds. Please reconsider the disgusting ruling on our fallen American heroes that attacks those who happen to be homosexual. They are no less American than anyone else who died on that fateful day. They deserve to be treated with equality and to have their memories honored in the same way as all of the other victims.
