We are so grateful for the show of support and love that we experienced in community yesterday at the 14th Annual LGBTQ+ Pride Flag Raising at Seattle City Hall.

It's a Saturday and I'm working 🤦‍♀️

"The freedom to build families, partnerships, and support systems that reflect our lived realities is inseparable from the broader struggles for gender equity, racial justice, queer liberation, and bodily autonomy. When one of us is targeted, all of us are made more vulnerable."

My comments on TDoV at Seattle City Council today. 🏳️‍⚧️ #tdov #seattle

1/13 What do you mean "family and relationship structure?" Aren't you just polyamorous? Well yes, but actually no! While many of us practice some form of nonmonogamy, and we work with groups like OPEN that are kickass advocacy groups for polyamory and ethical nonmonogamy, we cast a wider net.

A big thank you to Libby Denkmann and KUOW for having us on today to talk about bringing protections for diverse family structures to Seattle! Find out what the future for all families looks like in Seattle and Washington State by tuning in at the link below! omny.fm/shows/sounds...

SCFRE on KUOW two days in a row?? We're loving all this love! Thanks so much to Patricia Murphy for having us on this time - we loved hearing more of your talk with Anna Griffin from the New York Times, too! Listen to the interview: www.npr.org/podcasts/807... Sign our petition: tr.ee/uMgtPfxK3W

Absolute trash. The author did not speak to a single medical professional and the article does not contain a shred of evidence that effeminate gay boys are being bamboozled into thinking they're trans. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

BREAKING: City Council in Olympia, Washington just voted unanimously to advance nondiscrimination protections for diverse family and relationship structures, the first city in the state to do so! The protections will face a final procedural vote for adoption next Tuesday.

West Hollywood, CA just voted unanimously to pass nondiscrimination protections on first reading. A final vote will be held at the next Council Meeting. WeHo is now the THIRD city in THREE states to advance protections in just the last week!

"Back in December, the Seattle LGBTQ Commission cosigned a recommendation forwarded by the Seattle Human Rights Commission to the Mayor’s Office and City Council, urging that they introduce 'family and relationship structure' terminology to existing city nondiscrimination codes."

Alex Jeffrey Pretti was the victim’s name. He was a nurse. ICE executed a nurse. www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

Our initial analysis is up. The video footage appears to show that the gun was taken away from the man before he was shot. He was UNARMED before any of the shots were fired.

I'm all about this choker. 🏳️‍⚧️

This is one of the most irresponsible things I've seen someone in the trans community do. Absolutely disgusting that Tara Knight faked claims about getting a letter from the FBI and then forged a letter with AI when journalists tried to verify. theneedlenews.com/alleged-fbi-...

This headline is hilarious. Follow SCFRE to learn more about how we're working to do such ridiculous, woke things like... establishing discrimination protections so people can live their lives openly and authentically without fear. www.seattlecoalition.info

I'm very uncertain about certainty.

Oh, the instructor who was fired for giving an F to a Trumpist loser for citing the Bible in a scientific paper is *trans*? It's almost like we're being eliminated from society one by one or something. www.oudaily.com/news/ou-stat...

The LGBTQ Commission had the honor of receiving a proclamation on Trans Day of Remembrance from Councilmember Alexis Mercedes Rinck. We remember those we've lost and we stand firm in the fight for safety, dignity, and justice for transgender individuals in our community. #tdor

Baristas are locking arms in front of lines of trucks. This distribution center is Starbucks’ largest on the East Coast, which is why we’re showing up to send a message. We're ready to continue escalating our ULP strike until Starbucks does the right thing. #NoContractNoCoffee

After much deliberation and a grueling interview process, I’m pleased to announce that I’ve accepted a new job and will not need any financial support from my parents to cover the high costs of childcare going forward. #AmericanDream #ThisIsYourCity
