Senior Kentucky Representatives Mary Lou Marzian (D-Louisville), and Ruth Ann Palumbo (D-Lexington) have co-sponsored House Bill 117 to prohibit discrimination in employment, housing, credit, and accommodations, because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

Today, it is legal in Kentucky to fire someone, deny them housing, or refuse them access to public services or credit because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

It's time to end this discrimination and treat all Kentuckians equally.

The discrimination and exclusion of people because of the sexual orientation or gender identity undermine the integrity and dignity of our great Commonwealth.

Today, it is legal in Kentucky to fire someone, deny them housing, or refuse them access to public services or credit because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. It's time to end this discrimination and treat all Kentuckians equally. The discrimination and exclusion of people because of the sexual orientation or gender identity undermine the integrity and dignity of our great Commonwealth. As my elected official, I respectfully request that you support The Equality Bill, House Bill 117. If you have not signed on as a supporter of House Bill 117, please do so. No one should be discriminated against because of their sexual orientation! I believe in the the principle of universality of human rights, as enshrined in the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights whose 60th anniversary is celebrated last year, Article 1 of which proclaims that all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. Human rights should also apply equally to every human being regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. cc: Kentucky Equality Federation
