Support Fairness Wednesday in Frankfort

We all have gay neighbors, friends, co-workers and family members. We're cool with it; they're just like everybody else.

Except that in Kentucky, they can be legally fired from their jobs and kicked out of their apartments, just because they are gay.

There are LGBT couples throughout the Commonwealth who are technically "out" - living openly with partners for years, sometimes decades - and yet must refrain from the public displays of affection the rest of us take for granted because an employer or landlord might take offense.

You have a chance to change that. In addition to the handful of local Fairness Ordinances pending in communities around the state, there's a statewide Fairness Law in the General Assembly. Hundreds of people will be lobbying and rallying for it in the Capitol Wednesday (tomorrow.)

Details, include carpools, here.
