Did you hear about the Seattle woman helping lead a national effort to overturn same-sex marriage?
Katy Faust, a conservative activist based right here in Washington, is part of a campaign pushing the Supreme Court to reverse Obergefell v. Hodges—the landmark decision that legalized marriage equality nationwide.
This week, she’s scheduled to speak at a Snohomish County Republican Party fundraising dinner alongside state GOP Chair Jim Walsh and Brian Heywood—the wealthy Republican megadonor backing a ballot measure targeting transgender students in Washington schools.
And while the chair of the Snohomish County Republicans claims the party “has no opinion” on overturning Obergefell, they still invited one of the country’s leading anti-marriage equality activists to headline their event…
That tells you everything you need to know.
These attacks aren’t going away. National conservatives are pouring more money and attention into rolling back LGBTQ+ rights, even here in Washington.
But here’s the thing: these are the same recycled legal arguments that courts and civil rights advocates have already discredited for years.
Washington Democrats are fighting every day to protect marriage equality, defend LGBTQ+ families, and stop extremists from dragging our state backward. Because love is love. And no politician or activist should get to decide which families deserve rights.
Thank you,
