Excerpt:“Seattle is a city where diversity is celebrated, and the LGBTQ+ community is not just accepted but embraced.”
On Monday, Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell, accompanied by city leaders and LGBTQ+ community advocates, signed new legislation to strengthen protections for people seeking gender reassignment procedures and abortions in response to recent actions by the Trump administration.
Harrell signed the legislation into law to celebrate Transgender Day of Visibility. He said, “Seattle is a city where diversity is celebrated, and the LGBTQ+ community is not just accepted but embraced. The egregious attempts by the Trump administration to target, discriminate, and dehumanize LGBTQ+ people, particularly transgender individuals, and strip them of their rights goes directly against our city’s values. This legislation shows our commitment to a Seattle where everyone – regardless of their gender identity or sexual orientation – can live openly and be treated with dignity and respect.”
