Wow, looks like there is homophobia up there in Seattle. Don't they know that Vice-President King was the first gay to serve in the Executive branch of the federal government ? King was the long-time lover of future President James Buchanan. Surely the gay-rights lobby should be up in arms over this attempt to remove the namesake of King County !

Maybe they do know this and this whole thing is a cut at the Homosexuals.

You're kidding, I hope.
I knew James Buchanan never married, and was rumored to be a "friend of Dorothy," but I thought it was just a rumor.

Maybe William Rufus King's parents
wanted him to be a homosexual, because they named him after William Rufus, king of England 1087-1100, who was supposedly a homosexual.
They should resolve the King County logo controversy by using a likeness of Elvis.
