Washington anti-discrimination law passes!
Washington finally passed the long-suffering anti-discrimination bill today (see Seattle PI article). For reference, HB 2661. I’m pleased to note that my two state representatives (Eric Pettigrew and Sharon Tamiko Santos) both sponsored the bill in the house and along with my state senator (Adam Kline) all three voted in favor of passage.
It’s been brought up every year for a decade, and voted down by the senate each time. Bravo to the house and the senate for passing it this year and allowing Washington to become the 17th state in the nation with an anti-discrimination law that covers sexual orientation!
