Comments on: Inbox: What’s the best neighborhood for same-sex couples with children? http://raincityguide.com/2005/09/20/inbox-whats-the-best-neighborhood-for-same-sex-couples-with-children/ Seattle's Leading Resource for Real Estate Information Thu, 18 Mar 2010 03:20:05 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Anna http://raincityguide.com/2005/09/20/inbox-whats-the-best-neighborhood-for-same-sex-couples-with-children/#comment-607 Anna Wed, 21 Sep 2005 20:39:24 +0000 http://raincityguide.com/?p=172#comment-607 Zero Boss, Thanks for the input. I haven't witnessed any harassment in Seattle (quite the opposite, I've seen people go out of their way to make same-sex couples feel welcome), but I'm not surprised to hear that gays and/or lesbians still get harassed in Seattle... I definitely should not have implied that Seattle has solved all of our biases… and you’re right that this contradicts the theme of my answer. I did a quick google search to look for resources or organizations that same-sex parents in Seattle could turn to for support, but I didn't find anything that would be obviously helpful. Are you (or anyone else) aware of any resources that would be helpful for same-sex couples moving to Seattle? Zero Boss,

In Cap Hill, she said, she never had any problems. In the U, she said she's constantly harrassed and followed. She fears for her physical safety in a way she never did on Broadway. Not sure if that's a universal experience, but it seems to contradict your contention that all areas of Seattle are GLBT-friendly.
