UPDATED (2): Gay City Employees Try to Block Release of Their Names

The Seattle P-I reports on a suit filed by gay City of Seattle employees to block the release of a roster of the Seattle Public Utilities "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning and Friends" group.

UPDATE 1: Here is more on the story from the Seattle Times.

UPDATE 2: The City, reluctantly, takes the position that the records are disclosable. Whether or not the City wants to release the records, this is the correct legal position. Give City Attorney Tom Carr credit where credit is due.
