I wish I could have been down there...been working on this since 1989. The city of Tacoma had an anti discrimination initiative that lost at the ballot box. Been a long struggle...now we have to struggle to beat the fundie referendum that's sure to follow.

The bill is expected to pass handily in the House.

I'm very, VERY excited about this.
