Bashings on the Rise: Let’s Show Support for Seattle’s Gay Community

A recent wave of anti-gay behavior on Capitol Hill has the local community really worried. Broadway used to be a neighborhood where LBGT people could be themselves without fear of persecution, but that’s changed in the past few weeks.

I was out at a gay club with friends last Saturday night and saw signs up in all the restrooms warning people to watch their drinks, as toxic substances were being slipped into drinks at Capitol Hill bars.

The whole thing is really scary and disgusting and it’s important that the greater Seattle population stands up for our gay and lesbian friends.

I’d like to organize a counter-bashing. That is, let’s get a crowd of people up to Capitol Hill a week from tomorrow night with signs. We’ll stand on streetcorners, express support for the gay community and tell bashers to leave our friends alone!

Leave me a comment if you’re interested in attending and spread the word on your blogs. I’ve also created a Facebook event here, so feel free to join!
