True Justice
In late September, President Bush and the Congress authorized
the creation of the "September 11 Victim Compensation Fund" to
provide assistance to the surviving victims of the attacks and
the "relatives" of those who died. The Department of Justice
is in the process of writing the regulations that will govern
implementation of the Fund and has invited public comments to
guide this process. Sadly, there are those on the Radical Right
who would like to see the surviving partners and children of gay
and lesbian victims excluded from the benefits of the Fund. This is
totally unfair.
