Seattle Is Not ‘Overwhelmed’ by Trans People
In the middle of May, the Advocate, a national LGBTQ magazine, published a rare headline about Seattle. “Transgender Americans are fleeing hostile red states,” it read. “Seattle says it’s overwhelmed.” The headline was posted to social media, picked up by other queer outlets, and pingponged around the internet, latching onto readers’ confirmation biases on every […] The post Seattle Is Not ‘Overwhelmed’ by Trans People appeared first on The Stranger.
