Greetings,

As you know, the Kentucky Fairness Alliance (KFA) has been working diligently to pass a statewide fairness bill through the Kentucky Legislature. If passed, the bill would bring equal rights to every citizen of KY, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. 

Tomorrow evening, KFA will be holding vigils around the state to bring awareness to this cause and to reflect on the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots. 

Candles Across Our Commonwealth
Triangle Park, Lexington
Sunday, June 28
8:00 to 9:00 p.m. (EDT)

The Stonewall Riots marked the birth of the modern civil rights movement for the LGBT community. It has been said that before the riots the LGBT community was known about, but discounted.

"Stonewall was an awakening," said Travis Myles, KFA Board Chairperson. "We reflect back on it every year, but never before have we done so with so much potential to advance fairness for the LGBT community than we do in 2009. We close LGBT Pride Month looking forward and more determined than ever."

In fairness,
Your KFA Team

P.S. - The Lexington "Candles Across Our Commonwealth" vigil is being sponsored locally by several organizations including: KFA, Lexington Fairness, Lexington GLSO, LGBT Movies, United Sisterhood, & AVOL.
