Seattle contemplates a state of emergency because of red state LGBTQ migrants

Ifirst saw Seattle when I was a child. It was during the height of the hippie era, and I remember being struck by how clean Seattle was compared to San Francisco. My two or three subsequent trips to Seattle, all before 2012, didn’t change my mind. Now, though, Seattle has become a crazed left-wing bastion—but it turns out that even crazed left-wing bastions have their limits.

In Seattle’s case, the problem is the massive number of migrants flooding the city. But don’t be fooled into thinking that these are the same third-world illegal aliens destroying cities across America. These aren’t Tren de Aragua gangbangers, Mexican drug mules, Muslim fraudsters, or any of the other illegal aliens and faux refugees draining America’s collective bank account.

These are the Seattle kind of migrants: LGBTQ+ people fleeing Texas and other red states because those states are just too darn conservative. Yes, Seattle is facing a state of emergency because of homosexuals and gender confused people flooding its city borders. Apparently, the sanctuary concept only goes so far.

According to SGN, a Seattle-based LGBTQ+ focused outlet, Seattle is getting ready to declare a civil emergency because of this influx of gays and, more importantly, gender confused individuals:

On the Trans Day of Visibility last month, Seattle’s LGBTQ Commission submitted a letter of recommendation to the Mayor’s Office, City Council, and City Attorney’s Office that requested that City officials declare a civil emergency in response to the increasing number of Trans and Queer people fleeing hostile environments in other states.

An anonymous source told the SGN that the letter has since been received, and discussions between City officials and community members behind closed doors indicate Seattle is on the cusp of declaring a state of emergency for LGBTQIA+ refugees before Pride Month in June.

If you’re wondering why one of the most leftist cities in America is in panic mode because Southern non-heterosexuals are moving in, the answer is money. In a letter that the Seattle LGBTQ Commission wrote to the city government about the rising problem of “internally displaced persons,” the Commission explained that this influx of people “places pressure on community-based service providers, housing systems, and public health infrastructure. Community-driven efforts alone are insufficient to mitigate this emergent issue.”

And with their new woke mayor ...bring out the popcorn.

[KarlInOhio]

Can’t they just buy the houses of all the business owners and their employees who have fled East Berlin on the Puget?

[Albion Wilde]

Got what they voted for. Good and hard.

[MeanWestTexan]

Yes, they should flee Texas.

Also, illegals should head up there.

And bums and criminals.

It’s wonderful there for them!

Leave mean ‘ole Texas behind!

[Resolute Conservative]

I wish it were true all homos left Texas.

[Billthedrill]

Community-driven efforts alone are insufficient to mitigate this emergent issue.

This "emergent issue" has been going on for over a decade. They're running out of other people's money and the other people are running out of Seattle. Probably just need to raise taxes again.

...declaring a state of emergency for LGBTQIA+ refugees...

Shouldn't that be - BECAUSE OF LGBTQIA+ refugees?

[Antoninus]

This sounds like a manufactured "state of emergency" to create some kind of publicity buzz about the poor "coprophile refugees" as a way of making them sound like actual victims of others, instead of victims of their own depravity.

Of course, it's probably also an excuse to raise taxes to pay for Brucella to get his johnson cut off.

Seattle was way over the limit on water consumption back in the late 90s - the area can only support 2 million people, due to the hard pan soil layer, and because they have paved over most to the farmland around the city. Western WA is a very fragile environment, but the newbies don’t know or care because they are ‘environmentally concerned’ which is sufficient cred to do as one pleases.

The build homes on cliffs that overlook the water, and are so thrilled - never realizing the land historically crumbles into the water, or more properly onto the beaches, suffocating the clams and oysters that live on the beach. Eventually, the land crumbles up to their expensive luxury home sending it tumbling into the water below.

Oh well, they just go out and buy another home for cash, no biggy.

" . . . the Commission explained that this influx of [internally displaced] people “places pressure on community-based service providers, housing systems, and public health infrastructure."

I have two questions for the Commission:

1. Don't illegal and other foreign immigrants also put pressure on community-based service providers, housing systems, and public health infrastructure? Why isn't their arrival deemed a major crisis?

2. Why are so many LGBTQ+ people leeches on society?

The alphabet people. SMH

I’m old enough to remember when homosexuals said they just wanted to be left alone to live their lives......I knew then what was gonna happen.....and here we are.

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

I lived there in the early 80s. What a great place. Within 10 years it became a hobo town.

[Longdriver69]

This is great news. I encourage all libtards to move to Seattle.

[FreedomPoster]

So they’re running out of other people’s money?

What a surprise.

[bike800]

From the pro mass immigration crowd.. this is rich

[bike800]

It’s almost as if mass immigration has consequences

Just boarded an Alaskan cruise out of Seattle yesterday. 20 years since I had been there. What a 3rd world sh#thole it has become. I’ve never seen so much graffiti. I don’t think most of it is gang related. I think it is all the anti social drug addict bums that are camped out all over the city. Bad enough they leave their trash and needles all over but they have to vandalize too.

We loved Auburn WA, but things have changed. After a seven-year work related exile to Phoenix we wanted to move back, but there was no way. They’ve gone too crazy.

Loving Idaho.
