The director of the Fairness Campaign has a great op-ed in the Courier-Journal today, check it:
Just a decade ago, basic civil rights were denied individuals living in Jefferson County. Until 1999, someone could be legally fired from their job, denied housing or denied public accommodations if they were suspected of being lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender. If that seems shocking, know that for Kentuckians living immediately outside Louisville Metro, it is still a reality today.
Right now, anti-gay discrimination is perfectly legal in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Anti-discrimination fairness laws exist in only three areas in our state: Covington, Lexington/ Fayette County and Louisville Metro — leaving over 75 percent of our commonwealth's residents vulnerable to discrimination without any legal protections.
