The LGBTQ activists are always cooking up something new. On August 8, 2025, they rolled out their new Rainbow Resource Hub — a so-called “lifeline” for 2SLGBTQIA+ Washingtonians, loaded with “trusted resources, tools, and information.”
This hub has numerous resources target to youth, cutting parents out of the picture and ushering kids straight into a pipeline of radical ideology — all with your tax dollars. They hide behind their mandate under RCW 43.114.050, claiming they’re just a clearinghouse for “resources and legislative info.” In reality, it’s a curated menu of ways minors can bypass their parents, access irreversible medical interventions, change legal documents, and even get housing — no questions asked.
Click around the hub (lgbtq.wa.gov) and you’ll see it: “affirming supports” in housing, employment, “gender-affirming care,” and legal changes, all conveniently arranged so kids can get what they want without telling their parents. Keep in mind, SB 5599 passed in 2023, allowing minors of any age who claim to be seeking “protected healthcare” (“gender affirming care” or abortion) allows them to be housed in youth shelters or host homes without even notifying their parents.
Of course they frame it as “inclusion.” But inclusion for whom? Not for families. Not for parents who believe that big, life-altering decisions, like hormones, surgeries, or changing legal identity, should involve the people legally and morally responsible for that child’s welfare.
Instead, the Rainbow Resource Hub effectively tells kids: If your parents don’t agree with us, they’re the problem — and we’ll help you get around them.
Over the last several years, a great deal of legislation has been passed in Washington making it easier for minors to access LGBTQ-related services, including housing, medical care, legal identity changes, and more, without parental notification or consent. This year HB 1296 was passed, limited parent access to their children’s public education records, specifically regarding medical and mental healthcare. HB 1971 also passed, and with bipartisan support in the state senate, allowing providers to prescribe a 12-month supply of hormones (specifically in response to a request by the “trans community”), with no age restrictions.
Lawmakers have given the green light for state agencies and activist groups to step between you and your child, offering “support” that often means isolating them from their family and guiding them toward irreversible decisions they may not fully understand. This isn’t compassion — it’s exploitation, wrapped in rainbow branding.
This isn’t about politics. It’s about the state telling your child: You don’t need your parents. We’ll take it from here. And in Washington, thanks to these laws, they can.
Parents Must Push Back
The Rainbow Resource Hub is not “inclusive.” It’s a taxpayer-funded operation to separate kids from their parents under the banner of “support.” This is a direct attack on families, on parental authority, and on the basic idea that children deserve protection, not state-sponsored indoctrination.
If you’re serious about protecting your kids, the most effective step you can take is to keep them out of the reach of these activists altogether. Homeschooling is one of the best ways to shield your children from the constant ideological push happening in public schools. But whether you homeschool or not, you need to be engaged. Show up at your local school board meetings. Make your voice heard during legislative sessions. Hold the people in power accountable for every policy they push onto your children.
A great place to start is by joining our Conservative Round Table every Thursday at noon. It’s where you can connect with other citizens who are taking action, share strategies, and learn how to fight back in your own community. We don’t have to sit quietly while the state tries to parent our children. But we do have to show up. Click HERE to register to join us at our next Zoom meeting.
The LGBTQ Commission is holding a public meeting on August, 22, 2025 at the Richland Public Library in Richland, Washington. This is a great opportunity for concerned citizens to show up and make public comment. You can also submit a written comment via email: contact@lgbtq.wa.gov
You can also participate on Zoom if you are not able to attend in person. Visit lgbtq.wa.gov for more information.
