Mission: The Washington State LGBTQ Commission works to improve the state’s interface with the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, two-spirit, and intersex community, identify the needs of its members, and ensuring that there is an effective means of advocating for LGBTQ equity in all aspects of state government.
Vision: As public servants committed to advancing equity and fostering liberation for all 2SLGBTQIA+ people, we embrace humility, compassion, diversity, collaboration, respect, and joy in our work. We pledge to honor public involvement, community accessibility, and to listen and proactively center the needs of the most marginalized members of our community.
Washington State LGBTQ+ Survey Results
In 2024, a groundbreaking statewide survey was conducted to gain a comprehensive understanding of the characteristics and experiences of LGBTQ+ individuals in Washington State. This pioneering research, funded by the Washington State LGBTQ Commission, was meticulously designed for LGBTQ+ Washingtonians. The survey's findings are set to play a pivotal role in shaping policy recommendations presented to the Office of the Governor and the Washington State Legislature and beyond. Survey participants were also invited to enter raffle drawings as a token of appreciation for their invaluable contributions. Through this initiative, we successfully captured diverse voices from across the state, marking a significant step forward in advocating for inclusive and equitable policies.
