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.

    Is it getting more common to be publicly poly? I left the city for work and live in the boonies, I feel out of the loop. I feel such a deep pull towards polyamory as someone with a lot of love to share, but idk where to start

      I feel like it’s pretty closeted in general but I’m out as poly pretty much, I just decided I’d take any risk it presents :3

      edit: feel free to ask me any questions about it. I’ve found poly cocktails to be a nice community in my city and I know they have chapters all around
