Look, I’m as skeptical as you are of the notion that not all politicians are a bunch of good-for-nothing jerks who ought to get real jobs. But every now and then they manage to do something right in spite of themselves, and this year they managed to pass a couple of actually-good, queer-friendly bills, and also defeat one very, very bad bill. Sponsored $20 lunch and $35 / $50 dinner options. Venues offer takeout, delivery, indoor and outdoor dining. It may seem like there’s not much queer legislation left to work on these days, what with all the sexiest issues taken care of: Gay marriage is settled, more or less; Washington has robust nondiscrimination protections. But there’s still plenty of work to be done, which is why Equal Rights Washington lobbied hard on a wide range of bills this year, many of which were focused on intersectional issues connected to police accountability.
