Mission & Vision
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 Rainbow Resource Hub
The Washington State LGBTQ Commission wants to help 2SLGBTQIA+ Washingtonians find the support they need. We are launching the Washington Rainbow Resource Hub, a comprehensive hub meant to help consolidate trusted resources, tools, and information in an accessible way.
While times are changing quickly for 2SLGBTQIA+ people across the nation, we hope this new website resource provides a quick way to receive news updates, connect with local organizations to find support, and learn about your rights as a 2SLGBTQIA+ Washingtonian.
