Today, Washington became the 17th state in the nation with an
anti-discrimination law that covers sexual orientation.

The Anderson-Murray Anti-Discrimination bill makes it illegal to
discriminate in employment, housing, and other public
accommodation, based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

Fantastic, but sad that is necessary.

I'm also sad to say that I know of at least one person who was fired based on her sexual orientation during the last year.

I teared up at work when I found out.

Stay tuned to my journal for a lovely little post about a policy of disability discrimination blatantly stated in Olivia Cruises (yep, the "Lesbian Cruise Line" that's so effing expensive no dyke I know can afford it) brochure.

Did you make it to one of the parties? The Paramount was packed! It made me so happy...

And no, I don't know much about the Olivia cruses; I think only rich old corporate type lesbos can afford them...
