Update: As we continue to hear from supporters across the state faced with hazardous road conditions, and given the Kentucky General Assembly's revised schedule for Wednesday, we must regretfully cancel our Statewide Fairness Rally and Lobby Day that was set for February 18,2015.
We plan to reschedule, potentially as early as next week, but until the Division of Historic Properties in Frankfort reopens, we won't know when the Capitol Rotunda may be available.
We'll let you know the reschedule right away--in the meantime, please stay safe and warm and consider sending an e-mail of support to your representatives for Statewide Fairness Senate Bill 156 and House Bill 379!
Look up your representatives' e-mail addresses here: www.tinyurl.com/KYLegLookup
LGBT people can still be fired from a job, denied a place to live, and be kicked out of a restaurant in most of Kentucky--that's true even in many states that now have marriage equality, like Indiana.
