Washington city pursues polyamory protections in proposed civil rights ordinance

The Washington state capital city of Olympia is pursuing an ordinance that supporters say would protect polyamorous relationships and other non-traditional families from discrimination. 

"With issues like this, you constantly find that, not that folks are underground, but it’s hard for folks to come forward about these things because it is a very private thing, and we want them to feel welcome in our community and not ostracized," Olympia City Council Member Robert Vanderpool told KOMONews.
