Murray's office announced he would resign three hours after the Seattle Times broke Dyer's story. Murray was once thought to be a shoe-in for re-election, but his campaign began to unravel in April, when the Times published a story accusing the mayor of having molested three boys in the 1980s, one of whom was suing him. A fourth accuser came forward in May, and Dyer surfaced only days ago. On September 13, City Council President Bruce Harrell was sworn in as mayor, in accordance with the city charter. Harrell was accompanied by several of his City Council colleagues, City Attorney Pete Holmes, and other officials at his inau</description></item> <item><title>Capitol Hill Housing to develop Seattle's first LGBTQ-affirming affordable senior housing</title><link>http://www.sgn.org/sgnnews45_37/page2.cfm</link><guid>http://www.sgn.org/sgnnews45_37/page2.cfm</guid><pubDate>Fri, 15 Sep 2017 18:37:00 GMT</pubDate><description> CHH hosting Sept. 21 event to help identify community needs and priorities SEATTLE - [On September 13] Capitol Hill Housing (CHH) announced plans to develop Seattle's first affordable senior housing development, designed to be an affirming environment for LGBTQ elders and the greater LGBTQ community. The project comes at a pivotal time. King County's elderly LGBTQ population is expected to double by 2030, and LGBTQ seniors are listed as a priority population for the Seattle Housing Levy, as they face demonstrated health, economic, and social disparities compared to their peers. CHH is planning to create a mixed-use building on 14th and Union on Capitol Hill, redeveloping a parking lot adjacent to the Helen V Apartments. The Helen V is a 38-unit building that CHH has owned for 16 years, and which serves low-income seniors and individuals with permanent disabilities. The project would include renovations to the existing Helen </description></item> <item><title>LGBT rights pioneer Edie Windsor dies at 88 Plaintiff in historic USA v.

Windsor, in which the US Supreme Court struck down the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), died September 12. She was 88. Windsor was survived by her second wife, Judith Kasen-Windsor, whom she married in 2016, but it was her first marriage that made legal history. Windsor first met Thea Spyer in 1963 at Portofino, a restaurant in Greenwich Village, but both women were already in relationships, so they maintained a casual friendship. In 1965 they began dating, and in 1967 Speyer asked Windsor to marry her. Windsor agreed, and six months later the couple moved into an apartment in Greenwich Village. In 1968, they purchased a small vacation house on Long Island together. Although they originally concealed their relationship, Speyer and Windsor grew more open about their status as a couple, inviting friends over to their Manhattan apa</description></item> <item><title>LGBTQ and Allied Gray Harbor community protest Hoquiam bar</title><link>http://www.sgn.org/sgnnews45_37/page4.cfm</link><guid>http://www.sgn.org/sgnnews45_37/page4.cfm</guid><pubDate>Fri, 15 Sep 2017 18:37:00 GMT</pubDate><description> by Shaun Knittel - SGN AandE Writer Over the weekend members of the LGBTQ and Allied Grays Harbor community held a rally and peaceful protest in response to what they say has been a summer filled with threats, anti-LGBTQ rhetoric, a smear campaign of the community based on lies, and more. If you have not been following the news about what is going on in Hoquiam let me catch you up. Basically, a tavern owner in Hoquiam accused the LGBTQ community of Grays Harbor of falsely accusing him of homophobia after he denied them access to his facility, The Black Pearl Tavern, as a stage for a drag show. Of course, community leaders tell Seattle Gay News that the salacious allegations are untrue and it is the bar owner, Johnny Gallego, who is the one playing games and threatening folks. In fact, Gallego allegedly went as far as to tell community members who joined in a sit-in at the Black Pearl Tavern in response to the unfair treatment of a Transgender person w</description></item> <item><title>Civil rights groups pay tribute to Edie Windsor</title><link>http://www.sgn.org/sgnnews45_37/page5.cfm</link><guid>http://www.sgn.org/sgnnews45_37/page5.cfm</guid><pubDate>Fri, 15 Sep 2017 18:37:00 GMT</pubDate><description> From the ACLU:Today, we lost one of this country's great civil rights pioneers, Edie Windsor. The wheels of progress turn forward because of people like Edie who are willing to stand up in the face of injustice. One simply cannot write the history of the gay rights movement without reserving immense credit and gratitude for Edie Windsor. We were proud to stand with Edie when she took her fight on behalf of same-sex couples everywhere to the Supreme Court. We mourn her today, as do all whom she touched in her incredible life. Edie always urged others not to 'postpone joy.' So even as we mourn this terrible loss, we also celebrate Edie, who set an example for all of us to follow. From the Human Rights Campaign President Chad Griffin:Edie Windsor is a hero and civil rights icon who pushed our country closer to the promise of a more perfect union.

In 1995 my best friend Mike Farris, a 320-pound man with no actual softball experience, and I decided to try out for a softball team in Seattle.

In its September 14 filing, the ACLU says that there will be 'irreparable harm' to the service members it represents if the ban is allowed to go forward. 'Without a preliminary injunction to preserve the status quo, plaintiffs' health and careers - and the health and careers of thousands of other transgender service members and qualified individuals who wish to serve - will be irreparably harmed,' the motion said. 'The transgender service member ban is unconstitutional and invalid on its face, and the court should enter a preliminary injunction prohibiting Defendants from implementing or enforcing it.'

In a new series of state discrimination reports, authors Christy Mallory, State and Local Policy Director, and Brad Sears, David Sanders Distinguished Scholar, found that a only a fraction of the population in each state are covered by local nondiscrimination laws that prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity in areas such as employment, housing, and public accommodations.

'Under the Trump-Pence administration, federal agencies have ignored long-standing guidelines for engaging the public in policy changes specifically targeting the LGBTQ community and in some instances have failed to report changes all together,' said HRC Associate Legal Director Robin Maril.

'Before the President's vicious attack on transgender Americans, transgender service members had been serving openly and proudly in every branch of the US military for more than a year,' Lambda Legal Senior Attorney Peter Renn said. 'Since the President's tweets, and his mandate for the Pentagon to implement his ban, those same service members have been branded as unfit to serve - to do the jobs they have been doing successfully - simply because they are transgender.

Does AI count as a trusted source in reporting who is Gay and who is not? These questions would've seemed a bit 'early' one or two years ago, but in 2017 LGBTQ folks are faced with finding answers, because a Stanford University study claims to have used artificial intelligence to help determine a person's sexuality with remarkable accuracy by looking at their face. LGBTQ advocacy groups have denounced the study as 'dangerous and flawed.' The study, currently in draft form, has been accepted by the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. It reportedly used 'deep neural networks to extract features' from more than 35,000 facial images that men and women had posted on an unidentified dating website.

Not only is this short, intense opera appropriate for a smaller venue, but Washington Hall itself is central to the subject of the opera - the forced removal and incarceration of Japanese families in 1942 after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. In King County, where the opera is set, 9,600 people of Japanese ancestry - two-thirds American citizens - were taken from their homes on short notice and left with no resources to protect their property or businesses. Washington Hall was where these innocent people were brought to be registered for relocation.

However, if the point of ArtsWest 's The Who and the What, its first production of the 2017-2018 season, is to stir up provocative ideas and then connect us with profound revelations, then this production comes up just a bit short. Artistic Director Mathew Wright notes that the theme to this season's six production, titled 'I Am,' concerns identity and the journey we take to discover this. It's a noble task and ArtsWest does have the talent to meet this task. (Writer Ayad Akhtar's other work Disgraced, which won the Pulitzer Prize, would fit this season's 'I Am' theme and it might have been an ideal choice for this season's lead production.

Macklemore, who interviewed with Seattle Gay News about four years ago, if memory serves me correctly, is releasing his first album titled Gemini on September 22 featuring the singles 'Glorious' (with Skylar Grey) and 'Marmalade' (with Lil Yachty).

It feeds on fear. It feeds on life. It feeds mostly on children. And, in the summer of 1989, in the small town of Derry, Maine, It has returned. As school comes to an end and summer begins, 13-year-olds Bill Denbrough (Jaeden Lieberher), Richie Tozier (Finn Wolfhard), Beverly Marsh (Sophia Lillis), Ben Hanscom (Jeremy Ray Taylor), Mike Hanlon (Chosen Jacobs), Eddie Kaspbrak (Jack Dylan Grazer) and Stanley Uris (Wyatt Oleff) all discover they have more in common than being social outcasts. This so-called 'Losers Club' have all been seeing things, ominous daytime nightmares revealing their deepest, darkest fears, all of them culminating with a devilishly grinning clown named Pennywise (Bill Skarsgård) attempting to feast on their souls.

The film's villain, a renegade former U.S. Navy officer known only by his nickname 'Ghost' and portrayed by John Carter and Lone Survivor star Taylor Kitsch, has captured clandestine CIA operative, and his former superior, Stan Hurley and is using every interrogative torture tool at his disposal in order to find out some key information. Hurley is played by Michael Keaton; and what starts out as a somewhat quiet confrontation quickly escalates into something extraordinary. The Academy Award-nominated actor pulls out all the stops, returning to his Night Shift / Beetlejuice / Batman bag of tricks in order to go bug-eyed, unhinged, excitedly angry crazy and it's absolutely glorious, this five minute scene breathing life into a movie that, up until then, had found it to be in frustratingly short supply.</description></item> <!-- put more items here --> </channel></rss> If you would like to create a banner that links to this page (i.e. this validation result), do the following:
