Compensation for ALL
Kenneth L. Zwick, Director
Office of Management Programs, Civil Division
U.S. Department of Justice
Dear Mr. Zwick:
I am writing in response to
the Department's request for public comments regarding the forthcoming
regulations for implementing and administering the "September 11 Victim
Compensation Fund." I strongly urge the Department to draft regulations
that ensure compensation is available to all victims of the attack, including
the committed partners and the non-biological children of gay and lesbian
victims.
I would be very sad and angry if I or my partner of 7 1/2 years
were excluded in such compensation of loss.
It is unquestionable that the
devastating grief and economic losses suffered by the families of gay and
lesbian victims are no less than that of other families. Just as the terrorists
drew no lines in choosing their victims, our country must draw no lines
in compensating those who suffered the most personal of losses from these
horrific attacks.
Sincerely,
Individual Comment
