Every day, LGBTI people are denied many of the freedoms enjoyed by other Americans. We are committed to secure full equality for the LGBTI community of the Commonwealth. Your support is critical to our success. Please fund our efforts to end discrimination in Kentucky.

The origins of the Federation can be traced back to November 01, 2005 when Jordan Palmer created a political group of MySpace.com to discuss gay politics in Kentucky.  The group reached over 500 members within 3 months and was named “Kentucky Equal Rights.”

On March 22, 2006, Jordan Palmer and Nick Herweck organized a protest at the Governor’s Mansion to protest funding to a religious Baptist school in Southern Kentucky that had expelled a gay student. The protest, held when 20,000 people visited the Capitol for the Governor’s Annual Derby Breakfast made headlines across Kentucky, and the nation.  Soon thereafter, Kentucky Equality was incorporated as Federation for Kentucky Equality, Inc.

Today, Federation for Kentucky Equality is a statewide organization that reaches nearly 11,000 individuals and 6 groups across the Commonwealth of Kentucky and is a member of the International Lesbian & Gay Association.
