Freedom Day Committee, ACT UP, and the AIDS March on Washington: Wayne Turner shares his story of activism and Pride
Before Wayne Turner became a public interest attorney for HIV issues and Medicaid advocacy in Washington, DC, and taught LGBTQ+ health law and policy at Georgetown Law School, he was hard at work as a Queer and AIDS rights activist in Seattle. Turner was deeply involved in the Seattle chapter of ACT UP from 1989 to 1993. He also was part of the Freedom Day Committee, along with his partner Steve Michael; together they helped to put on the Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual/Transgender Freedom Day March and Rally in 1992.

POCAAN provides medical care and housing assistance for those in need
During the 1980s and 1990s, the AIDS crisis swept across the world, killing more than 44 million people as of today. Marginalized people, especially Black/Brown, LGBTQIA+, and impoverished people afflicted with the disease, were largely ignored by the government and society during this time, denying them the care that they required. In 1987, the People of Color Against AIDS Network was founded in Seattle to bridge the gap by meeting people where they were. POCAAN began as an organization to provide marginaz

Looking back on Pride’s radical roots: The essential work of Seattle’s Freedom Day Committee
Pride in Seattle today is mostly known for being a citywide celebration. However, before large corporations saw it as an opportunity to covet rainbow dollars, it was also a means for the LGBTQIA+ community to demand broader societal acceptance, raise awareness about community issues like HIV/AIDS, and advocate for legal protections. From the 1980s to late 1990s, a group of community- and politically minded organizers, called the Freedom Day Committee, were at the heart of making sure Pride even happened eve

“When Pride marched on the Hill”: Come Out Seattle reveals its Pride archive

“What Trans Joy Sounds Like”: Seattle's Trans and Nonbinary chorus celebrates community
On June 12 and 13, the Seattle Trans and Nonbinary Choral Ensemble (STANCE) hosted a concert at University Congregational Church of Christ in the U District, described as a celebration of Trans joy in hard times, when violence against Trans people is too common. Entitled “What Trans Joy Sounds Like,” the concert’s goal was to remind people of reasons to stay positive in these tumultuous times and not give in to despair. (Another performance is scheduled for June 25 on Vashon Island.) On a warm summer day, a

Hold on to your wigs on the Glamazonian express!
I entered Stop! That! Train! fully aware of what to expect: unfiltered chaos, rhinestones, and an abundance of glitter. This film not only embraces its over-the-top nature — it fully commits to it. It’s a cinematic cavalcade racing down the tracks at full speed, inviting you to join the laughter and fun. The plot? Gloriously ridiculous: a runaway train rockets across the country, with only the most mismatched, over-the-top crew imaginable to save the day. There are double-crosses, mistaken identities, and m

US no longer safe for LGBTQIA+ refugees: A Gay Russian’s story of Queer and Transphobic abuse in ICE detention
According to the Legal Defense Fund, nearly 400,000 ICE arrests across all 50 US states were made during the first 10 months of Trump’s second term. As of April 2026 (the most recent TRAC Immigration data), over 60,000 people were reportedly being held in US detention centers, with 70.8% of detainees having no criminal record. Numerous reports from both US media sources and civil rights groups have since documented the poor and abusive conditions people living in detainment experience. But what still remain

Julie Averill talks AI, DEI, and living as a corporate Lesbian in new book Chief Impact Officer
“The most powerful thing I ever did wasn’t coming out. It was coming home to myself. Because when you stop editing your truth to make others comfortable, you stop disappearing. You start leading from alignment instead of fear.” —Julie Averill in Chief Impact Officer. Very few LGBTQIA+ people (or women in general) have ever reached the top level of the US corporate ladder, which continues to be dominated by cis straight men. Only 10% of CEOs from Fortune 500 companies are women, with less than 1% openly Quee

Flamboyantly campy Masters of the Universe lacks the power to entertain
Popular Mattel action figure He-Man returns to life in a new take on Masters of the Universe. This gaudily inventive, strangely tongue-in-cheek bit of sci-fi fantasy weirdness is as much a spin on 1980’s Flash Gordon as a big-budget reimagining of the Filmation cartoon series He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. It is also unapologetically, almost unrelentingly, Queer. Yet that’s not enough to make the finished product worthwhile. Maybe in fits and starts, though. Don’t get me started with how terrific J

The 2026 King County Trans Resource & Referral Guide arrives at a critical moment
As Transgender people across the country face escalating attacks in the areas of healthcare access, legal recognition, education, and public life, Washington has become both a refuge and a frontline. Recently, the Seattle LGBTQ Commission called on the City of Seattle to declare a civil emergency in response to increasing pressures facing LGBTQIA+ communities, particularly Transgender people seeking safety, stability, and support in Washington state. The proposal also reflects concerns that housing, healthc
