From kingcountyjournal.com:

A group of religious leaders representing a wide range of faiths gathered Wednesday at Lake Washington High School to urge state lawmakers to ensure gays and lesbians the same rights and protections from discrimination as other minorities.

At an informational demonstration outside the Kirkland school, about 30 clergy and members of groups including the Anti-Defamation League called for passage of a revived bill that died by just one vote in the Senate last session.

Supporters said they chose Lake Washington High School for Wednesday's demonstration because the school is home to Sunday services for Antioch Bible Church and its outspoken pastor, Ken Hutcherson, who successfully lobbied against the bill in previous legislative sessions.

Hutcherson, a former Seattle Seahawks linebacker, took credit for convincing Microsoft to drop its backing for the bill.

``We stand in the face of discrimination,'' said the Rev. Monica Corsaro, ecumenical campus minister at the University of Washington and a member of the Religious Coalition for Equality.

``We here today are asking the state of Washington to honor all people and love all people individually.''

The relatively small demonstration was a warm-up for a much larger rally Jan. 23 on the Capitol steps in Olympia. The bill would include sexual orientation in current state law banning discrimination by race, sex, religion, national origin, marital status and other categories.

Does anyone have any more details on this protest? One footnote to the story: Microsoft changed their position again under pressure from the gay community, led pimarily by AMERICAblog.
