"in early August, city leaders betrayed public trust and hammered a wedge unlike any I’ve ever seen in Port Townsend. At the August 1st city council meeting, citizens who expressed concerns about women’s privacy rights were at the receiving end of the inversion, called bigots and trans-haters.

Those who had actually delivered the hate that night were lauded as the inclusive ones, protecting a special and fragile minority.
