To the Administrators of the 9-11 Funds:
It has come to my attention that partners of victims of the 9-11 disaster who happen to be gay will not be eligible for compensation under current rules of disbursement of 9-11 funds.
This is unconscionable - all survivors of this disaster deserve to be compensated, whether heterosexual or homosexual. Partners who have shared the same home, same expenses and built a life together deserve the help you are offering. Many of these partners are of same-sex relationships.
Please note my opposition to this situation. You are falling very short of your mission if you are omitting the gay/lesbian population from pool of eligible beneficiaries.
