"More than 270 gay-rights organizations — including several in Seattle and across Washington state — oppose the bill and say they will work to see it fail.
Locally, they've scheduled a unity rally for 2 p.m. today at the LGBT Community Center, 1115 E. Pike St.
"We'd rather have the bill fail than leave anyone behind," said Bill Dubay, a longtime Seattle gay-rights activist. "We can be frozen here for a while; we're not going backward.""
