The Seattle Commission for Lesbians and Gays was first established in
1985 as the Mayor's Lesbian/Gay Task Force. In 1989, the Task Force became a
full city commission with 15 volunteer members. When the Office for Women's
Rights was abolished in 1987, the Commission was absorbed into the new Office
of Civil Rights, and its name was changed to the Seattle Commission for Sexual
Minorities. The Commission advises the Mayor, City Council and other City
departments on issues of concern to sexual minorities. It also recommends
policies and legislation in matters affecting the sexual minority
community.
Correspondence, reports, surveys, and news clippings related to the
activities of the task force. Materials deal primarily with the passage and
monitoring of legislation extending benefits to domestic partners of City
officials and employees.
Records are open to the public.
