| Photographer | Wallen, Don

| Date | 1978 |
| Historical Background | In 1978, Initiative 13 attempted to repeal the Seattle ordinances protecting gays and lesbians from discrimination in housing and employment. It came on the heels of a national spate of successful anti-gay measures. The campaign galvanized the political voices of Seattle's gay community, and on November 7, 1978, the measure was soundly defeated.
