equal compensation for gay and lesbian partners

Dear Victim Compensation Committee:

I am very upset having just heard that you are not providing gay and lesbian partners of those who died on September 11 the same benefits as heterosexual spouses. Such a decision dishonors those who died and their families, and it offends me. Please change this policy to properly reflect our country's respect and support of all it's citizens equally.

Thank you,
