KENTUCKY EQUALITY FEDERATION CONDEMNS SENATE BILL 68 WHICH PASSED COMMITTEE TODAY
Thursday, March 5, 2009
Contact: Jordan Palmer, President
(877) KEF-5775 - Ext 5 (office)
"Senate Judiciary Committee Chair
Robert Stivers (R) decision to hear this
discriminatory legislation to harm Kentucky’s
children follows opposition across Kentucky,"
said Kentucky Equality Federation President
Jordan Palmer. "Groups opposing Senator Tapp’s
bill include the Kentucky Chapter of the
National Association of Social Workers,
Kentucky Commission on Human Rights,
Progressive Democrats of America, the
Libertarian Party of Kentucky, and others that
rallied with us in Frankfort, KY on February
25th."
Kentucky Equality
Federation believes the legislation will die in
the House of Representatives should it pass the
full Senate.
"It is a disgrace
that members of Kentucky's Senate are using
children as political pawns against the gay and
lesbian population of Kentucky," stated
Kentucky Equality Federation's Managing
Director, Laura Reed.
