SEATTLE PRIDE TOUR JOURNAL "THE EMBRACE OF THE EMERALD CITY!"
5 action packed days of non-stop appearances - followed by a a week of follow-up and follow-thru

Picture
It started with a simple question... when are you coming to Seattle?  
Our dear friends have been following our evil plan for world domination (heck we'll settle for a gig at this point), and when the above question appeared on our Facebook walls, it... well, it snowballed from there.
Next thing we know, we're sitting pretty in the prime spot and  everyone stepped up to support us as the mascots for this year's Trans*Pride. We just clicked our heels an faster than you could say "out of the woods" we're on TV Radio, Podcasts, two public events and making friends all along the rainbow brick road...  we were excited and frankly, a little in shock, It was looking like it would turn out to be one giant lovefest - but a
s Tezzer's sainted grandmother Rose would say,,"it's all fun and games until somebody puts an eye out!"  In this case it's eye of the entire LBTQ community as Washington State watched in horror as it became the latest battleground for the Trojan horse bathroom laws. - I1515, 
suddenly, our visit couldn't have been better timed - and we couldn't wait to roll up our sleeves and stand with our community to fight down the disgraceful, despicable and sinister acid trying to erode the American ideals and moral fiber. Seattle? Really?  Seattle. Really.  
​
And here we are, now on the other side - Orlando happened, Yes, that did happen. And colored everything we did. It set the context. It gave us purpose. It made the trip real. 

We would never have made it without several good witches of the west: our gracious host in Seattle, Auntie Linda Mikkelsen.  We'd also like to thank the woman who started it all, Carol Dole, who wrote to the Town Hall asking them to invite us in the first place..We also could not have done this without the warm and generous support of the Gender Justice League's Elayne Wylie, and Danni Askini, and the entire Emerald City community who opened their arms and came out to support us at each of our events. Together, we all really made a difference. Not only did we shine at each of our events, but we also laid important groundwork for the future with a few large Seattle-based corporations - Microsoft and Amazon, and the Marriage and Relationship Counselors of Seattle.  Below are some of the highlights - enjoy!

Here then are the Highlights with links to video and audio programs

DAY 5 - SEATTLE PRIDE TOUR REPORT
​TRANS*PRIDE SHINES IN THE RAIN  

Picture
Scottie was lead-off speaker after a march thru the streets of Capital Hill with the Microsoft GLEAM team (Scottie shot the picture - hence her absence from the frame)who graciously escorted her. The rain came (how Seattle) right as the program was to start - and showered us all the rest of the evening - but nothing cold dampen our spirits as we all celebrated diversity and vibrancy, strength and love.

DAY FOUR - SEATTLE PRIDE TOUR REPORT
AN EVENING OF LIGHT,LAUGHTER & LOVE, AT TOWN HALL! 

Picture
An amazing evening with Seattle's own Status Arron Causey, who's been making it his business to get up in everyone else's business as a sex and relationships educator,, got right to the heart of the matter, Exploring out loud with us how our journey of Light, Laughter & Love really did dispel darkness with the Town Hall Crowd. The day started with Town Hall Director, Katy Sewell and her "The Bittersweet Life" podcast (Links and schedule.TBA) and ended with free Ice cream and support from the Gender Justice League's Elayne Wylie.  And once again, Marcy brings the house down with her Opposum story...

You can catch all of the Light, Laughter & Love
OUR TOWN HALL SEATTLE EVENT!

It was rich and rewarding evening with people watching from as far away as Israel and Germany. Crazy right?  We cover our journey from soup to nuts... (wha?)

DAY THREE SEATTLE PRIDE TOUR REPORT -
MARCY & SCOTTIE MEET MAYOR MURRAY AT HIS HONOR'S ANNUAL PRIDE RECEPTION

So... What happens when an uppity LA Woman calls the Mayor's office and offers to cook him dinner?  Well, His Honor politely declines but instead invites Her and Her Love to his second annual Pride Reception.  An elegant affair, with two amazing women receiving an award for their service to the LGBTQ community and city of Seattle - Marsha Botzer, a 4o years veteran of the equality wars, and Danni Askini of the Gender Justice League. The Mayor gave an inspiring and heartfelt address reminding us that tho' we grieve for those we have lost. we can never lose hope, and we must work tirelessly for equality, joy and hope. A great man, a great leader!

DAY TWO SEATTLE PRIDE TOUR REPORT -
IT'S A NEW DAY (NORTHWEST) FOR
MARCY & SCOTTIE ON TV WITH THE AMAZING MARGARET LARSON 

We are still buzzing after an amazing morning with an amazing team! From producer Heidi to AP Taylor and our new favorite audio woman Emily, we were treated once again to the Pacific Northwest's warmth and love. Margaret was the best, keeping it real and light even as we were getting... heavy... see for yourself!

DAY ONE SEATTLE PRIDE TOUR REPORT -
MARCY & SCOTTIE GO "ON THE RECORD" ABOUT THEIR JOURNEY WITH CONSUMMATE RADIO HOST BILL RADKE

"An amazing experience, I never expected Bill to want to go that deep..." was Scottie's response to the taping of NPR's 'The Record with Bill Radke." The interview was stop 1 for Marcy & Scottie's tour and as Marcy says, "A  great and loving way to start the week off right," Bill was a great listener with really deep questions - a profound journey, made smooth and welcoming by producer Kate O'Connell. The show aired Thursday, June, 23rd at noon on KUOW, here in Seattle and links to the podcast are here:

THE ICING ON THE CAKE! A MAGICAL WEEK IN SEATTLE WRAPS UP WITH PRIDEFEST 2016

Scottie & Marcy took the day off to revel in Seattle's warm embrace and celebrated PRIDE in Seattle. New friends, Lucy & Catherine, were amazing and gracious hosts! ​Pride in Seattle, as all over the world, was a bittersweet affair this year.  We celebrated in the name of the 49 we lost in Orlando. We celebrated for them. For their families. For our community. It wasn't easy. The debates over gun control that erupted in the wake of the tragedy threatened to overshadow the fact that it was the LGBTQ community that was targeted - just another example of homegrown hatred and discrimination born of ignorance and fear.
