Key Points of concern:1. As has already happened in other states*, business owners will be forced to violate their faith, beliefs and consciences. How soon will it be before a photographer, florist, wedding facility and others are prosecuted for declining to provide service for a same-sex ceremony even if their faith convictions are violated? * - (see “3 REASONS WASHINGTON STATE SHOULDN’T COME AFTER BARRONELLE STUTZMAN’S PERSONAL ASSETS”)

2. Mayor Parker’s ERO creates UNequal Rights for a tiny elite group of people by taking away rights of safety and privacy for the vast majority of our women and children!

3. It is patently offensive to claim that a sexual lifestyle or gender confusion are equal to skin color, AND to assert that these sexual lifestyles are a class that has suffered any documented systemic discrimination in employment, housing and public facilities that rises to the need of imposing this extensive policy over every citizen.

4. The definition of “Gender Identity” is infinitely vague. “… Gender Identity shall mean a person's innate, deeply felt sense of gender, which may or may not correspond to the person's physical anatomy and also includes a person’s gender expression through external characteristics and behaviors including, but not limited to, dress, grooming, mannerisms, speech patterns and social interactions, that are identified with a particular gender or sexual orientation.” Under this, a person’s gender and sex are completely separate.
