From the desk of Chris Hartman & The Fairness Campaign:
Want to know more about homosexuality and the Bible? Many of you do. Now you can hear the prospective of Charles Hawkins, an Episcopal Priest, in his book, “Homosexuality & Christian Scripture.” Hawkins is serving as Rector of St. Mark’s, Louisville.
The book, which is a lecture by Hawkins from 2004, is available at Carmichael’s Bookstore. Both the Frankfort Avenue and Bardstown Road locations have copies available.
Each book comes with a DVD of the lecture.
Great for study groups or book clubs (by the way, does anyone want to start a club for Fleur de Lez? Let me know…).
The proceeds from the sale of the book will go to The Fairness Campaign.

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 »

Check out this new web series from some creative minds in Lexington. The series is coming soon but you can watch the trailer now!
“Based on the lives and loves of four young friends, this series boldly goes where no other has gone before – between the sheets and into the minds and hearts of apologetically queer women living in middle America. But underlying the many shocking and controversial moments is an important drama exploring the intoxicating extremes of modern day life and love. Refreshingly non-judgmental and atypical in its embrace of stereotype, with its sometimes funny, always provocative storylines, Girl/Girl Scene is a vibrant, vital and honest reflection of today’s young lesbian culture.” – from website: Girl/Girl Scene

If you’re having trouble leaving a comment on some of the posts on FDL, we think we’ve got it fixed and figured out. 
According to our web guru, here’s what you do:
– Now when you click on “log in”, it has a “register” link at the bottom of the login page.
– It makes you pick a username and provide an email address. It emails a password to the address you give, then you can use that password to log in. From there, you can update your profile and post comments on articles.
We’re still considering losing this approach to leaving comments because it can sometime be cumbersome. Let me know what you think. Your opinions matter at Fleur de Lez!
NOTE: Don’t worry. We will not sell your e-mail address or any information to an outside source, nor will other users be able to see your e-mail address. Your identity will stay with us.

HB 118, the Hospital Visitation Bill, passed the Ky. House yesterday with a 99-0 vote. The bill would permit patients of health care facilities who are 18 and older to designate a person not related to the patient by blood or marriage as a visitor.
The bill now moves to the Senate. Please dial 1-800-372-7181 and tell your Senator to vote YES on HB 118.

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.
