I am sine dead ☠️
Don’t come looking for my corpse
It’s buried ‘neath bills

Yesterday the we heard HD 47 which would allow people to discriminate based on religious freedoms. We can’t be doing that. This video is a small clip but you can watch the full clip below. youtube.com/watch?v=b0aJBn…

A new study from UCLA's Williams Institute found that Kentucky has the highest percentage of LGBT individuals per state. lex18.com/news/kentucky-…

Linda Blackford: New study shows Kentucky is the gayest state in the U.S., with 10.5% of our population identifying as LGBTQ. It's something for the virulent homophobes in elected office to consider the next time they launch an attack. shorturl.at/alVY0 ^JC

I am honored to have been named the new poet laureate of Kentucky by Gov. Andy Beshear. As a writer who was raised working class and in trailers, as a questioning person of faith, and as the first openly gay poet laureate I will do my best to represent my place and my people.

Not his last supper. Not his first. Some of those who claim to follow him the closest think they’ve got a seat and there’s no room at that Inn. A good Holy Week to those who celebrate. #HolyWeek2023 #PalmSunday2023

We agree with the Courier Journal’s Joe Gerth—Governor Andy Beshear should pardon the #Gallery19 protesters!

“This is my home. I’ve connected more here than I have any other place I’ve lived. I feel like I finally belonged. And it really, really hurts that Kentucky doesn’t want me here.”

My latest.

On SB150: Banning “any child regardless of grade level” from receiving presentation or instruction “studying or exploring gender identity, gender expression, or sexual orientation.” This is Florida’s DON’T SAY GAY bill, all the way through high school! kentucky.com/news/politics-…

Not what that means but actually this year it is. An entire session of a legislature in which nearly every member of a political party worked tirelessly against the interests of the very people they‘re there to protect, under the banner of a religion they’ve made unrecognizable

This morning my husband asked me about the status of GLSEN & Shine, the GSA he runs which is also the most well attended /most popular after school club at his school. It stung how practically no one knows what was actually passed yesterday.

This can’t be how we govern

There’s no doubt in my mind why #KYGA23 is attacking #trans kids. It’s because we’re winning.

There’s still time to fight like hell. The legislature’s back March 29/30. Fairness Campaign & I will be there. Will you?
