Spring Hill Review

October 2004

[Gubernatorial candidates Dino Rossi and Christine Gregoire were questioned as follows]
"In the 2004 legislative session, Governor Locke strongly supported
HB 1809, which would expand Washington's discrimination clause to include
sexual orientation, and include all workplaces. Under HB 1809, churches,
synagogues, religious prechools, and private schools that do not believe
that homosexual or other sexual practices are consistent with their faith
could be forced by the State to hire those who disagree with their beliefs.
In addition, faith-based employers could be subject to lawsuits if an
individual with sexual orientation differing from the tenets of their faith
were terminated. As governor, would you support or oppose HB 1809?

Dino Rossi: "I do not support forcing religious institutions to adopt
policies that go against their faith."

Christine Gregoire: "I strongly believe that it should be against the law to
discriminate in employment, public accommodations, housing, credit, etc.
based on an individual's real or perceived sexual orientation or gender
identity/expression."
