This is a recap of my very gay visit to Seattle! I went on the Love For All boat to witness LGBTQ+ vow renewals with Bendela Creme and I visited a bunch of LGBTQ-owned businesses in Pike Place Market and around the city.
In case you're wondering, the guy in the thumbnail image is my friend @rickycornishTVas we watched the real couples go through the process we also pretended we were remarrying each other too, cuz why not?! XD
“Love For All” was a vow renewal extravaganza celebrating love, commitment, and belonging in the LGBTQIA+ community. Setting sail on one of Seattle’s famed Argosy Cruises I joined dozens of couples to ‘re-tie’ the knot in a ceremony led by Justice Mary Yu, Washington’s first openly gay Asian American and Latina justice (who officiated Washington’s first same-sex marriage in 2012). The Deputy Mayor was also there to officially proclaim it as “Love For All” Day, and BenDeLaCreme (from Drag Race fame, but a Seattleite herself) was the evening’s emcee. There's more info on the event at https://visitseattle.org/press/press-...
The small businesses I visited, along with many others which have lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer identifiying owners, can be found all over the Seattle and at the city's original farmers market. They can also be found on the Intentionalist website if you want to learn more about them and other types of LGBTQ-owned stores, shops and restaurants in this and other US cities: https://intentionalist.com
