Fwd: victim compensation
Attachment 1:
victim compensation
Dear Mr. Zwick-
I am writing to urge you to include gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgendered people
in the selection process for compensation for the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
GLBT are American citizens just like heterosexuals- one of the pilots flying
the doomed jet that crashed into the Pentagon was a gay man. His surviving
partner should not be denied benefits based upon his sexual orientation. To
deny GLBT of these benefits would go against the sense of unity that has
overcome this nation since the attacks.
To hear the words of , , and just made my heart ache.... As a gay woman I face discrimination on a daily basis-- I am fortunate in the sense that I did not lose anyone on Sept. 11-- but some of my GLBT peers were not as fortunate... please don't deny them the same compensation that heterosexual couples we be so freely given.
thank you
