What is public comment?

The public comment portion of our public meetings is a time for individuals to share their experiences as a 2SLGBTQIA+ person in Washington.

Here are some important things to know about public comment:

• Written comments can be received prior to the meeting. Please email your comment to contact@lgbtq.wa.gov. Please include your name and organization affiliation, if applicable.
• Public comments will also be received live either in-person or via Zoom. If you are in-person, there will be a sign in sheet. If you are attending virtually, there will be digital sign in shared in the chat.
• Public comments will be limited to 1-2 minutes, determined by number of individuals signed up to speak.
• Each individual can only give one public comment per meeting.
• Commissioners are not expected to respond to public comments during the meeting, but instead direct comments that merit action to their relevant committees.
• All public comments must be respectful. The Commission reserves the right to limit the time of public comments for individuals who use vulgar or derogatory language.
