LGBTQ Commission asks Seattle to declare state of emergency to increase resources for trans refugees

As trans folks flee red states, Seattle wants to be ready to support them.


The Seattle LGBTQ Commission has petitioned the city’s mayor, Democratic Socialist Katie Wilson, to declare a civil state of emergency to accommodate the massive influx of LGBTQ+ people. More specifically, the group hopes to make available resources to support the trans, nonbinary, and two-spirit refugees the city has received from Republican-led states that have threatened trans rights.

In a letter to the Mayor, the Seattle LGBTQ Commission said, “Due to the rapid influx of 2SLGBTQIA+ persons seeking refuge in Seattle for increased safety needs, civil rights protections, and access to essential services, the Seattle LGBTQ Commission formally recommends that City leaders declare a civil emergency that ensures an effective and empathetic response to protecting these internally displaced persons (IDPs) at a time of urgent crisis for our community.”

The only thing they are attempting to seek refuge from is the reality of their genitals.

What rights specifically. List them. Name a Constitutionally-protected right that trans people have had threatened and/or taken away.

Perfect. It will be a 'super'-state of emergency when Spencer Pratt starts bussing the homeless up there, as he's already promised.

Just think Katie, of the congressional representation you'll get for Seattle.
