It’s not often that the words of an elected official make me cry tears of joy and hope. Two of my children are vulnerable for different reasons. One has a disability. One is trans. My measure of a community is how my children are treated. Bothell, you have been blessed to have this man as your mayor

Bothell’s Dad is a loving, affirming dad. Thank you, @masonthompson.bsky.social!

Thanks for posting, and thanks to Mayor Thompson for strongly supporting LGBTQIA+ people! Words matter, especially right now and especially from elected officials and other people in positions of power.

Nice words from Mayor Thompson

Proud of Mayor Thompson and the majority of the Bothell City Council voting yes on this resolution.

I’ve got good friends in Bothell. Thank you @masonthompson.bsky.social for standing up for them so clearly

Thank you @masonthompson.bsky.social for speaking out for your LGBTQIA+ neighbors. I live in Edmonds, but we frequently go to Bothell to eat, shop, and attend events, and I appreciate these efforts to affirm Bothell as a welcoming place for our queer household 🌈

As someone that's gay that does AV for pride and has dealt with protestors in our region. It's amazing to see the Bible being quoted for the actual understanding and kindness that's in there(agnostic atheist, just had to do years of religion class in school). Thank you @masonthompson.bsky.social

Beautiful @masonthompson.bsky.social you do not mess around 🙌

xlche.bsky.social•72 days ago

We know why they came to speak against this. It's good for them to hear it from another Christian.

nicolek2025.bsky.social•73 days ago

Brava!! Thank you Mayor Thompson for standing so firmly to your values and those we want to stand for in such a brilliant and on-point way. My highest respect!!

Thank you @masonthompson.bsky.social for your stand against these hateful people. I’m just outside the Bothell city limits, but this makes me proud to be a regular visitor.
