A unanimous vote among the three members of the Seattle City Council’s Housing, Arts and Civil Rights Committee forwarded a proposal to the full council that would amend sections of the Seattle Municipal Code to “recognize genders outside the gender binary, recognize pansexuality and asexuality as orientations, and include consensual relationships with multiple partners as an element of attitudes, preferences, and practices pertaining to sexual orientation.”
The protections would apply to employment, housing, business licensure, places of public accommodation, park usage, and “bias-free policing,” according to the proposal.
Seattle would follow Portland, West Hollywood, Berkeley, California, and a handful of other cities in adopting the expanded protections against discrimination. Under the bill, residents facing unfair treatment could file complaints and seek remedy through Seattle’s Office for Civil Rights.
Thanks, we enjoyed it too!
Yeah, we have noticed a lot of users here (in the threadiverse we mean) hate to have anything they aren’t used to, or just want to argue and bully or harass others sadly.
We have had some good experiences like with you, but many hate even being asked kindly to stop being harmful and we just don’t get it.
It’s gotten to the point where we are shocked when others reacted well to our requests, or that mods actually do anything about users who show a clear pattern of bullshit behaviour.
