Kentuckians Value Fairness Day of Action is an opportunity for us to raise the voice and visibility of fair-minded Kentuckians with our legislators.

NOTE: If you have an account, please login to register, otherwise, complete the registration form.

This is a time in Kentucky's history that every organization and individual must put differences aside and work together to finally secure the 1st Step of Equality for Kentucky. At the end of the day, we are all the same: one community fighting for our civil rights.

While we know the climb to secure equality in Kentucky is very steep, the magnitude of the issues at stake requires that every LGBTI person and straight ally act and stand for the 1st Step of Equality in Kentucky: a statewide law to protect LGBTI people from discrimination in housing, credit, accommodations, and employment!

Eventually, we will also overturn the 2004 discriminatory marriage amendment which blocks same-sex marriage, civil unions, and domestic partnerships.

Our community and our volunteers continue to be our inspiration to drive forward. At Kentucky Equality Federation, no individual, no group, and no organization shall be turned away in our struggle; we welcome everyone with open arms.

We must bring change to our Commonwealth; it is our generation's obligation and opportunity to bring equality to the LGBTI community; we stand on the shoulders of those who have come before us – the time is here.


We look forward to seeing you all in Frankfort, KY with our allied organizations, be sure to ask for your free Kentucky Equality Federation or Marriage Equality Kentucky pin, stickers, and brochures to distribute to your friends and neighbors.

SCHEDULE:
  • 8:30 am - Introductions and Lobby Training Session - Capitol Annex (Meeting in Room 111 of the Capitol Annex)

LGBTI constituents, along with family and friends from across the Commonwealth, will lobby legislators in the morning with personal stories concerning the need for an anti-discrimination law)
  • 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm - Rally (in the Capitol Rotunda, to promote the passage of a statewide Fairness law in Kentucky prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity in employment, housing, and public accommodations)
