From The Courier-Journal, by Joe Gerth:
FRANKFORT, Ky. — Businesses and landlords in Kentucky shouldn’t be allowed to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation, gay rights supporters said at a Capitol rally Wednesday.
They acknowledge that they have a long way to go before passing legislation to achieve that goal. But Christopher Hartman, director of the Louisville Fairness Campaign, said the group is gaining supporters.
For the first time, it has 10 House members who have co-sponsored legislation to give gays and lesbians protections under Kentucky civil rights law. And also for the first time, one of those members is from outside Louisville or Lexington.
John Johnson, executive director of the Kentucky Commission on Human Rights, also was on hand Wednesday to speak at the Statewide Fairness Coalition’s annual rally. He urged activists to keep pushing for protection under the law.
“They say good things happen to those who wait,” he said. “Good things come quicker to those who agitate.” More »

COMMENTARY: Committee’s decision discriminating, shameful
By Skylar Baker-Jordan | 23 February 2010
From: The College Heights Herald
Last semester, I was walking up Normal Drive from Mass Media and Technology Hall toward Northeast Hall to visit a friend. A pickup truck full of young men—presumably students—drove by and yelled “faggot” as they passed. I felt humiliated, I felt scared, I felt hurt but most of all I felt angry. Homophobia, I’d always been told, had no place on the Hill. This incident proved otherwise.
Last week, the Benefits Committee again showed an ugly homophobia was alive on campus. While they didn’t call us fags to our faces, they did tell gay and lesbian employees and students that they are not seen as equal to their heterosexual colleagues. In a vote of eight to six, the Benefits Committee refused to offer domestic partner benefits to same-sex and opposite-sex unmarried couples. More »

The film’s out writer-director, Cholodenko, is no stranger to gay films. She is also the writer behind the lesbian film High Art, starring Ally Sheedy, which screened in 1998.

Unlike many of my peers, I had yet to succumb to the Canadian lesbian charms of indie rock twins Tegan and Sara. Until now.
Dutch DJ Tiesto recruited the ladies for “Feel It In My Bones,” a plaintive dance track about the imminent demise of a relationship. I think it’s the harmonies that really make this low-key club track so distinctive. I’m also digging the futuristic new video. Check it out below…
It’s the third single from Tiesto’s latest disc, , which also features appearances by Calvin Harris, Sneaky Sound System, Bloc Party’s Kele Okereke, Nelly Furtado and Metric’s Emily Haines, among others. I daresay it’s his best collection to date.

Some media outlets have reported that Jane Lynch, who plays the evil cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester on Glee, will tie the knot with her girlfriend, Dr. Lara Embry.
The New York Times’ Carpetbagger blog reports that the two will wed in May.
Embry is a psychologist who was in the news last year because of a same-sex custody battle. That case later ended in the Florida courts deciding that Embry be given the same rights as any other adoptive parent in Florida. Yay, girl!
But what is Lynch saying about the upcoming nuptials? Nada.
According to Access Hollywood, a rep for Jane isn’t giving much up on the news. Her official statement is that Jane “is currently in a relationship and there is no related news to that relationship.”
Whatever! The cat’s out of the bag.

Washington (CNN) — President Obama’s call in his State of the Union address to repeal the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy this year was met with praise from gay activists and questions by top Republicans as to why it should be changed.
“Tonight, President Obama stepped up to the plate and made a firm commitment to work to finally end ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ in 2010,” said Alexander Nicholson, founder and executive director of Servicemembers United. “Although brief, his language was plain, his message was clear, and the outline of his strategy was smart.”
In his State of the Union speech, Obama said he would work with Congress and the military to repeal the 1993 law that bars openly gay and lesbian people from serving in the military.
“[We must] repeal the law that denies gay and lesbian Americans the right to serve the country they love because of who they are. It’s the right thing to do,” Obama said.
Nicholson, a former Army human intelligence collector who was honorably discharged in 2002 under the policy, said Obama did something Wednesday night that will cool criticism he has faced from the gay rights community. More »

There’s a big issue rising up in our community regarding reproductive rights. No matter where you stand on the issue it’s always best to know the facts. Check out this information that was sent to FDL via an e-mail. What do you think of the possible legislation?

Yesterday the Senate passed Senate Bill 38. Senate Bill 38 is this year’s attempt to further restricts access to abortion.
KY Senate Bill 38 would require:
1) a woman to have “in person” counseling a minimum of 24 hours prior to providing consent for an abortion
2) a physician to perform an ultrasound and describe the fetus and the fetus’ appendages to the woman (note: the legislation would permit a woman to “avert her eyes, but she would have to listen to the results of the ultrasound”). More »

Rumors are circulating on the Internet and local television (Fox 41) that Facebook, the popular social networking site, may start charging members in July 2010.
While it seems unclear at this point, the site claims the rumors are just that — rumors. But some groups on the site disagree.
The larger group, called “We will not pay to use Facebook – we are gone if this happens”, now has over 140,000 members and aims to get 300,000 members to sign its petition.
What do you think? Will you still use the site if there is a fee? Sound off, ladies…
