And now, PI's Big Blog has the other side of story of the story on the Mariners decision that ballpark staff were justified when they asked Sirbrina Guerrero to stop kissing her girlfriend: In a conversation with P-I columnist Robert Jamieson today, Sirbrina Guerrero said she was surprised by the Mariners' conclusion that staff behavior toward her and her female partner at last Monday's game did not constitute discrimination. Why? Because earlier this week she said she had a good discussion with the Mariners director of guest services, Kathleen Lenihan. "She asked me if anything...

Source: Seattle Post-Intelligencer Big Blog Claiming that the goal of the team that runs the publicly-financed ballpark "is to foster an atmosphere at Safeco Field that is welcoming to all fans," Seattle Mariners officials have decided that their staff "acted appropriately" when ushers asked a lesbian couple to "tone it down" when they were seen kissing . The Mariners again insisted that the interaction between the couple was more than the "peck" that the couple and their friends described in initial reports. "[T]wo experienced staff members observed...

An article in the Kitsap Sun reminds us that we still have a local primary coming up in August when the state will try out its new "top-two" primary system for the first time. Under the new system, the top two vote-getters in a primary will face each other in the general election no matter what party they belong to. The top-two system was selected by voters as an alternative to the former blanket primary that was declared invalid by the courts. Democrats have speculated that the governor's race in 2004 might not have been so close had Libertarian Ruth Bennett not been on the ballot...
