LGBTQ.

Plus, Kentuckians are sending this message to state lawmakers.

They say, stop politicizing our lives.

And they brought that message to the Kentucky State Capitol yesterday.

Supporters gathered for a fairness rally to oppose what they see as anti LGBTQ plus legislation, including what they call a health care discrimination bill.

I'm going to ask you what you want.

I hope the answer is fairness.

What do you want?

When do you want it?

What do you want?

Today we make our voices heard.

Yeah.

No matter where we are in the state, we shouldn't live in fear of harassment or being fired from our job.

From being kicked out of our homes, or especially from being denied basic medical care because of who we love or who we are.

Everybody here is fighting hard against Senate Bill 72, which is an overly broad health care discrimination bill that would allow any health care worker in the Commonwealth of Kentucky to deny service and to discriminate against patients based on virtually any reason, including prejudice.

I also got concerns about House Bill 468, which seeks to overhaul a lot of the human rights commissions and really change quite a bit of the Kentucky Civil Rights Act.

We know that there's consideration of a drag bill out there right now.

We deeply believe that drag is not a crime, and that's clearly what everybody here agrees with as well.

Everybody's got a right to live.

We wanted to be here because we're living in a time where people feel attacked by their own federal government, along with parts of our state legislature.

You are citizens of the Commonwealth, just as worthy as anyone else.

I see you.

I appreciate you, and I will continue to serve each and every one of you.

We exist in all of Kentucky and where we live.

We belong.

Sometimes that's hard to remember.

And uncertain times like this, and a time when it feels like too many of our allies have abandoned us.

And we watch as so many of our elected leaders try to chip away our rights one by one.

They act like they can legislate us away.

And yet here we are.
