Seattle’s NBC affiliate reports:
A Sammamish planning commissioner who made anti-LGBTQ+ remarks during a meeting last week has resigned. Sammamish Mayor Kali Clark accepted Wassim Fayed’s resignation immediately Monday.
The city strongly condemned Fayed’s comments, but activists say there needs to be more accountability. During a June 1 meeting on the first day of Pride Month, Fayed spoke to his fellow Sammamish City Council-appointed commissioners for more than three minutes.
“I don’t believe that LGBTQ should be part of the minority,” Fayed said during the meeting. “These are people who are promoting diseases and infestation in the minds of our children in our schools,” Fayed continued.

Fayed was incensed over a recent diversity training session held by the city. As you’ll see in the video below, he began his remarks by citing the Koran.
The Sammamish mayor accepted the resignation effective immediately. But the LGBTQ+ community is still pushing for accountability. https://t.co/zRacgBztns
