DANVILLE, Ky. — An ordinance that would prevent discrimination based on sexual orientation is being drafted in Danville, Ky.
The city commission voted on Monday to move forward with the proposal despite objections raised by the mayor, reported The Advocate-Messenger. TownMapsUSA.com Mayor Bernie Hunstad voiced concerns about costs and the possibility of alternative measures. “I would like to point out that this ordinance, if approved, bypasses at least two other suggestions made already, including a simple proclamation,” said Hunstad. “I think, too, that the advice that we have received to date from our city counsel has been basically against the ordinance because of the cost of litigation. For that reason, I will not be supporting this.” The vote came after the panel heard from dozens of residency showed up to voice their opinions on the matter. Jamie Peyton said she was fired from a job in 2011 after disclosing that she was a lesbian and has had trouble finding a job since then. “I was explicitly told that had I not admitted my sexual orientation, it might have been different,” said Peyton. Danville resident Randy Graham spoke against the ordinance, saying that the city should instead put the issue to a referendum. The city attorney will draft the ordinance, which is to be presented at a March meeting. In the meantime, the commission plans to take more public comments so that revenge it revisions can be made throughout the process.

YouTube is a lifeline for transgender young people Niko Walker records a video on his girlfriend's laptop for his YouTube channel about his gender transition. (Christina House / Los Angeles Times) More photos For those taking hormones, changing their names and feeling socially isolated, posting and watching videos lets them feel that they're not alone. By Emily Alpert Reyes January 22, 2014 http://www.latimes.com/local/la-me-c1-trans-video-diaries-20140122-dto,0,7488366.htmlstory#ixzz2rAr97M8s Behind the counter at Starbucks, Niko Walker wants to be seen as "just a guy." A guy who craves In-N-Out Burger and burns it off with P90X. A guy who looks like Jeremy Renner. A guy who dreams of making films.
On YouTube, he bares his chest to show his mastectomy scars, tracks his shifting hairline and shows how he injects testosterone. Hundreds of people watch. Questions pop up from strangers. At his Westchester home, facing the tiny camera on a laptop, the 21-year-old feels safe. "I almost forget that I'm trans because I've had surgery," Walker tells his YouTube audience. But he keeps making the videos anyway, to support his transgender "brothers" still looking for help. "I can't be quiet when three or four years ago, I was in the same position," he said one afternoon before he started to record. As a high schooler, Walker stumbled across a video online and was transfixed as a faraway stranger started talking. Like Walker, the person on camera was born in a female body but identified as male. Back then, classmates at Culver City High School knew Walker as a girl who liked other girls, a tomboy who goofily lip-synched to Justin Bieber. But Walker had never really felt like a lesbian, he said. When the teen saw that video, "it was like, 'Oh my God. This person reminds me so much of myself.' " Thousands of teens and twentysomethings who are transgender — identifying with a gender that is different than their sex at birth – have turned to YouTube as a kind of public diary. As they start taking hormones or using new names, many are documenting their journeys on video, baring their souls and revealing their changing faces to strangers online. Their videos tell stories that were once routinely hidden: Transgender people were told to abandon their old lives and craft a new history after making their transition. As recently as a decade ago, "you lost everything if people knew that you had transitioned," actress and activist Calpernia Addams said. "You eliminated dating opportunities. You exposed yourself to violence." Three years ago, a national survey of more than 6,400 transgender and gender-nonconforming people found that 71% had tried to avoid discrimination by hiding their gender or gender transition. Sharing their stories remains risky: More than a third of people who were gender nonconforming or had a transgender identity before graduating from high school said they had been physically assaulted, the National Transgender Discrimination Survey found. Violence and bias aren't their only worries: If "coming out" for gays and lesbians means being recognized for who they truly are, many transgender men and women feel that telling new people they are transgender does just the opposite, making people think of them as less than a "real" man or woman.

(Naomi Ngoy / YouTube) More photos But sidestepping the past has become much harder for a generation that has had digital footprints since childhood. And many teens see little reason to do so, embracing their transition as an essential and even celebrated part of their identity. "I'll always be trans," said Naomi Ngoy, a Utah 15-year-old who uploads makeup tips and videos about her transition on YouTube. Other video bloggers, or vloggers, have removed their videos once they are regularly recognized as their identified gender, but Naomi plans to keep hers online. "There's no point in trying to take them down in the future." The videos are part of growing visibility for transgender people, but they are also a reflection of a younger generation used to broadcasting much more about their lives, whether trans or not. Nearly half of Americans ages 18 to 29 have shared their own videos online, much more than among their elders, a recent Pew Research Center survey found. Another Pew survey found that among teens, nearly a quarter had put videos of themselves on Facebook or other social media. At Survivors' Truths, a Los Angeles group that works with trans teens and others to tell their stories, "we ask youth, 'Do you have any concerns about putting this out there in the world?' " Executive Director Dove Pressnall said. Sometimes what might seem like spilling too much "is really generosity — a real desire to share what they've learned with that kid that's out there alone." Although some teens and twentysomethings are eager to share their stories with the world, others have ventured into such a public space only to find community, said Tobias Raun, assistant professor of communication studies at Roskilde University in Denmark. He calls the videos a kind of "private public," available to all but sought out by few. A lot of people who watch my channel know me better than my family does.” — Kat Blaque, an alias Share this quote "I'm not the kind of person who stands up and says, 'I'm trans,' " said one Long Beach vlogger who uses the alias Kat Blaque and didn't want her real name used for fear of losing work. "YouTube was my place to vent when I couldn't say anything to anyone." During college, Kat gabbed regularly on YouTube about crushes, taking estrogen and retooling men's clothes to suit women, even as she fretted about classmates finding out she was transgender. In the years since, the 23-year-old has told some of her friends but still worries about employers finding out. Slurs in the YouTube comments needle her. Despite such worries, Kat said she keeps vlogging because she wants to show women like her — particularly black trans women — that an ordinary life is possible. Hundreds and sometimes thousands of people have tuned in to see her recount her "worst night ever" in Hollywood, share her whimsical illustrations and banter on camera with her boyfriend. And airing her troubles helps Kat too. Someone once sent her a box loaded with things to style her hair — blow dryers, flat irons and even a wig — after she vlogged about hair woes. It was the kind of thing a mother might do for a teenage girl. The kind of thing Kat said her own mother, uneasy with her femininity, never did. "As bizarre as it sounds," she said, "a lot of people who watch my channel know me better than my family does." Just a decade ago, when activist Jake Finney started his gender transition, there were only a few websites about the process, he said. Movies and television gave a grim picture of trans life — the rape and murder of Brandon Teena, the cancer that killed Robert Eads after doctors turned him away. Now that trans men are talking about their own lives online, the 42-year-old said, teens have a vast library of stories: People who always knew they were trans. People who realized it later in life. People who are getting surgery. People who aren't. People with families, partners and jobs. Asher Zickert says watching videos of other trans men reassured him that he wasn't alone. (Asher Ryen Zickert / YouTube) More photos Today, teens can click through YouTube and see, "Oh — I actually can transition and lead a happy, healthy life," Finney said in Los Angeles. Across the country in North Carolina, watching other trans men reassured Asher Zickert that he wasn't alone. The 28-year-old made videos long before realizing he was transgender, discussing depression for an online audience. The old videos, still online, show a twentysomething with cascading reddish hair, dragging on cigarettes and offering advice about finding the right therapist. When Zickert chose a new name, buzzed his hair and started taking testosterone, it made sense to him to keep making videos. Sometimes seeing his own face on screen makes him grimace, but he presses record anyhow, talking through his frustrations with a virtual community: the lingering tenor of his voice, the steep cost of surgery, the occasional "ma'am" from others. "I want to help the younger brothers out there that feel as lost as I did," Zickert said. "If there was no Internet, I probably wouldn't be where I'm at right now." http://www.latimes.com/local/la-me-c1-trans-video-diaries-20140122-dto,0,7488366.htmlstory#ixzz2rAqVRd1V 'Everyday Homophobia': The New Leading Edge of the LGBT Rights Movement Raymond A. Smith, Ph.D. Investigator, LGBT Health Initiative, Division of Gender, Sexuality, and Health at the Columbia University Medical Center At the outset of the modern lesbian, gay bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights movement in the 1970s, many early activists endorsed the powerful feminist slogan that "the personal is political."
With sweeping society-wide reforms seeming unlikely, the first generation of activists was often focused on the day-to-day experience of prejudice and discrimination in the daily lives of LGBT people. These early activists zeroed in on the destructive influence of "everyday homophobia" -- the countless smaller, commonplace experiences of bigotry and discrimination that cumulatively can have such a corrosive effect on gay and lesbian people across their lifespans. Over the ensuing three decades, much of the energy of the LGBT movement -- and most of the attention of the media and the public at large -- came to be dominated by societal struggles on a bigger scale. In the 1980s, the emphasis was, of necessity, on the horrors of AIDS in the days before treatments had been developed. By the 1990s, attention had turned to opening up some of the most tradition-minded institutions in American society: the military, the Boy Scouts, the clergy. By the 2000s, the target shifted to eliminating the vestiges of institutionalized bias in areas such as anti-sodomy laws, discrimination in employment, and unequal access to the benefits of marriage. Over the past decade, there has unquestionably been progress on the "macro-level" of public policy on most of these issues. Still, many LGBT people must regularly contend with intensely personal challenges at the "micro-level" during encounters within their families, neighborhoods, schools, communities, religious bodies, and other institutions of daily life. Fortunately, there are important signs of a shift in energy and attention within the LGBT community towards combating "everyday homophobia." Consider these five rapidly emerging issues: The aging of the LGBT population. Throughout American society, the next two decades will be shaped by the aging of the baby boomer generation. Long overlooked is that this age cohort also includes the first large groups of openly LGBT people to move into old age. Since earlier generations were forced to lead mostly closeted lives, no one can predict what issues will be raised by an LGBT population that is increasingly "out, loud,... and old." Already, however, there are reports of older LGBT people who are forced back into the closet while living in long-term care facilities. What do you get when you mix lavender with gray? We're about to find out. The pioneering of new family forms. The centrality of family to LGBT people was first made evident in the late 80s and early 90s along two parallel tracks. Most visibly, this emerged as an issue among men caring for sick and dying same-sex partners partners to whom they were legally unrelated. Family issues were also center stage among women who were part of the so-called "lesbian baby boom" made possible by advances in assisted reproduction and by incremental reforms in family law. Advances in the recognition of same-sex relationships and increasing acceptance of adoption by LGBT people are creating new family structures that face unique stressors and unprecedented challenges. Families of origin, families of choice, blended families, families with surrogates and co-parents, families impacted by same-sex divorce: all of these are playing more central roles in LGBT life than ever before. LGBT health beyond HIV and breast cancer. Over just the past two years, we have seen a new ferment in government, academia, and the health professions around the full spectrum of LGBT health issues. These range from substance use and mental health, to obesity and heart disease, and on to distinctive needs among the transgender population with regard to the use of hormones, sex confirmation surgery, and safe injection practices. Several newly designed programs, such as the LGBT Health Initiative with which I am affiliated at Columbia University, have been developed in recent years to take a broad and holistic view of LGBT health. This is certainly not to downplay the reality that HIV infection -- especially among young gay and bisexual men of color -- remains at near-crisis levels. Nor does it diminish the importance of timely diagnosis and quality treatment among lesbians for breast and other cancers. But these two issues no longer define the parameters of LGBT health in the way they once did. Kids coming out at ever-earlier ages. The old three-stage paradigm of "realization-closetedness-coming out" is becoming a relic of the past. With more access to information than ever before, LGBT youths today are able to "put a name" on their difference at a much younger age and, in some cases, are coming out far earlier than prior age cohorts. The closeted stage that once might last for decades is now sometimes collapsed into mere months, making this a pressing issue for parents, educators, and youths themselves. At the same time, advances in the use of puberty-delaying hormones for gender-variant children are also becoming "game changers" in how families and doctors address the development of transgender identity. The impact of bullying. School districts, state legislators, city councils, and the mass media are finally focusing on the demeaning and demoralizing ways in which kids torment other kids. LGB youths are particularly likely to be bullied, although this can be the fate of anyone who seems different or vulnerable. Related abusive practices, such as attempts to change a youth's sexual orientation, are also increasingly being barred by law for being harmful and humiliating to LGBT young people. And disproportionate violence against LGBT people remains a threat across the lifespan. Taken together, these examples signal a new direction in LGBT awareness and a greater focus on the ways in which "everyday homophobia" continues to cast a shadow over LGBT lives. Can we be healthy and age well? Can we be our honest selves from earlier ages? Can we be embraced rather than tormented because of our differences? Unlike many of the great LGBT rights issues of the last few decades, these are not the kinds of questions that can be resolved by a Supreme Court ruling or by an act of Congress or a law passed by a state legislature. Certainly, such institutions can help in many ways. But these issues mostly must play out in the decentralized contexts in which LGBT people lead their day-to-day lives. At the same time, advances led by LGBT people can play important roles in promoting the human rights and personal freedoms of everyone in society. This can already be seen as part of the effort to prevent bullying among all children and in the work of expanding outdated and limiting definitions of the family. Combating the smaller-scale manifestations of homophobia has always formed an important current within the LGBT movement, particularly within the many underfunded yet highly effective social service institutions created by and for the community. Still, "everyday homophobia" has not usually been the dominant priority of the movement. That seems like it's about to change. More and more, we are returning to that key insight of the 1970s that "the personal is political." Lesbian Writes Letter Responding To Neighbor's Comment A letter that appears to have been written by a woman who had the word "lesbian" used as an insult against her by a neighbor is currently making the rounds on the Internet. The mysterious woman who is, in fact, a lesbian, seems to have taped the letter to her neighbor's door after hilariously reclaiming all of the stereotypes that she embodies. Check out the letter below. Dear whoever just walked by the laundry room and whispered, 'she's a lesbian.' What gave it away? My lack of bra, my no make-up, my black truck, my boots? OR was it the painful fact that I bring more girls home than you? Sincerely, Your lesbian neighbor. P.S. Very observant. This isn't the first letter to that deals with issues affecting the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community to go viral.
Last October, a letter written by a grandfather to his daughter after she abandoned her gay son went viral. Additionally, last March a father wrote a heartwarming note to his son after he overheard his son mention he wanted to come out of the closet while talking to a friend on the phone. (h/t Have A Gay Day) As of Thursday, January 9, 2014, 16 co-sponsors – a record, according to the Louisville-based Fairness Campaign – have signed on to Kentucky’s House Bill 171, known as the Statewide Fairness Bill. The bill was initially filed in the General Assembly yesterday by Rep. Mary Lou Marzian (D-Louisville). The Fairness Campaign said six new representatives – Rep. Denver Butler (D-Louisville), Rep. Jesse Crenshaw (D-Lexington), Rep. Jeffrey Donahue (D-Louisville), Rep. Derrick Graham (D-Frankfort), Rep. Rita Smart (D-Richmond) and Rep. David Watkins (D-Henderson) – joined the original 10 bill sponsors. The Campaign said, in a press release, the increase in sponsorship illustrates “the rapid growth of support across the Commonwealth for anti-discrimination protections in employment, housing and public accommodation including lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people.” Last month, Morehead’s passage of a city-level version of the law rounded out a year in which Kentucky doubled the number of municipalities with Fairness ordinances, adding Frankfort and the Appalachian town of Vicco to Covington, Lexington and Louisville, which passed LGBT protections more than a decade ago. Grassroots movements to pass local Fairness laws are underway, reported the Campaign, in nearly a dozen other Kentucky cities, including Bowling Green, Danville, Elizabethtown, Owensboro, Shelbyville and Berea, where the city council has appointed a task force to draft a local Fairness law. “This type of unprecedented support at the statewide level is clear and compelling evidence that Kentucky is moving in the right direction – towards LGBT Fairness,” said Fairness Campaign director Chris Hartman. “Coupled with the tremendous progress across the whole Commonwealth, these new co-sponsors should compel House Leadership and the Judiciary Committee to finally hold a hearing on the legislation, which they have avoided the past 15 years.” More than 25 percent of Kentucky’s population now lives in a city with LGBT Fairness protections and 83 percent of all registered Kentucky voters support a statewide Fairness law, according to a recent survey by The Schapiro Group: A statewide Fairness rally will be held in the Capitol Rotunda Wednesday, Feb. 19 at 1:30 p.m. in Frankfort.
The original 10 sponsors of House Bill 171 are: • Rep. Tom Burch (D-Louisville) • Rep. Kelly Flood (D-Lexington) • Rep. Joni Jenkins (D-Louisville) • Rep. Mary Lou Marzian (D-Louisville) • Rep. Reginald Meeks (D-Louisville) • Rep. Darryl Owens (D-Louisville) •: Rep. Ruth Ann Palumbo (D-Lexington) • Rep. Arnold Simpson (D-Covington) • Rep. Jim Wayne (D-Louisville) • Rep. Susan Westrom (D-Lexington) The First Thing My Mom Did When She Learned I Was Gay... and the 'Miracle' That Occurred After Growing up as a gay kid in the south was not easy. The constant fear of people discovering who you really were and the inevitable shame that would fall upon you and your family dictated how you lived your life everyday. Luckily for me, I was fortunate enough to move to places where it wasn't a constant daily reminder that I was an abomination. For my family, however, they still live in ground zero of intolerance for the LGBT community and have the unique pressure of having a well known gay relative. When I came out, they came out. For years they have had to deal with the judgmental looks and constant condolences from friends and strangers as if I had died. "I'm so sorry, you are in our thoughts." Now, my parents aren't very outspoken and shy away from any type of attention. For years they have quietly educated themselves about their son and the LGBT community like responsible adults. My mom read the Bible four times in a row and bought every book written about Christianity and the subject of homosexuality. When she saw things were not getting any easier at her church regarding this issue, she decided to go against her passive character and let her community know exactly how they were making her feel. In a very open and honest letter to the church, she suggested how true Christians should act towards the LGBT community. Her letter was so well received that another local church invited her to speak to their congregation, as it believed it was finally time to start a dialogue within the church. The following is the transcript from that speech. I am extremely proud of my family and especially my mother for the way she has handled herself in this confusing time in her life. To me, she represents a true Christian and what the majority of Christians believe today in the country. Let me start out by saying that I am not a public speaker. As a matter of fact, this is the first time I have ever spoken publicly on this topic and I hope you will bear with me. Ever since I agreed to speak to you, I have asked for courage and I hope you will pray for me as I try to tell you what is in my heart. I am here to share my testimony. Please know that I am NOT here to debate the issue of homosexuality. I would never do that because I do not have all the answers and will probably never have them in this life. The Bible warns of false teachers and I would never say anything that might possibly be considered false teaching. However there are some things I feel led to share that I know beyond a doubt are true and I will share those with you tonight. First, I need to let you know that I have been a Southern Baptist all my life. I attended Sunday School and church as a child. I married a man with the same Christian principles as me and we raised our two children in the church as well. My husband is an ordained deacon, I taught Sunday School, sang in the choir, taught vacation Bible School, attended Bible studies and revivals just like most of you. Both my children were saved and baptized at an early age and two of my three small grandchildren have already been baptized. We are a Christian family with deep roots in the church and the teachings of the Bible. Seven years ago, we found out that Lance is gay. We were totally blindsided and devastated because never in a million years would we have guessed it. Also, because it was such a public thing, the situation was so much worse on the family. I do not want to go into the personal details of that revelation, but I will tell you that the first thing I did was fall to my knees and ask, "What would Jesus do?" I almost immediately knew the answer... love my son. And that is what I have done. Never once did I ever think about turning my back on him. Never once was I ashamed or embarrassed. My feelings were more of sadness and just sheer disappointment in life. If you believe that being gay is a choice, then the rest of what I say will not matter. I do not know why, but even as a staunch Christian, I personally never believed that being gay was a choice. I never knew a lot of gay people, but the ones I did meet I felt compassion for because I could feel their pain of being rejected and my heart always went out to them. Even though I never did believe Lance chose to be gay, I did not accept it as quickly as my husband did. His attitude was "It is what it is." My attitude was "Yes, it is what it is but my God can perform miracles so I'm going to beg for a miracle to zap Lance and change him to straight!" And I did just that. I continued to love my son, stand beside him, and defend him, but for several years I continued to pray relentlessly for a miracle. Well, Lance is still gay. However, I did get a miracle. It is just not the miracle I prayed for. You are looking at the miracle tonight. The miracle is that I learned to have unconditional love and compassion for my son and others in the gay community. I haven't marched in parades or spoken at conventions, but I do feel that God has led me to speak out concerning the church's role. My son is a Christian and wants to be able to worship, but he does not feel that the church cares about him and has pretty much disowned him as a fellow believer. There is something terribly wrong with that and I have to speak up on behalf of my son and others who find themselves in the same situation. When I was a little girl, I went to a celebration with my grandparents on the courthouse lawn in Laurel. I was thirsty and ran to drink some water from one of the water fountains. My grandmother screamed at me to stop. When I looked at the fountain it had the word "Colored" on it and she told me I had to drink out of another one. I was only 6 years old but I knew something was just not right about that. Just as my heart told me something was wrong that day on the courthouse lawn, my heart is telling me that something is wrong with the way the church treats those who are gay. I could tell you many stories that gay young people have told me about how so-called Christian people have treated them but I will only share one. One of the young men told me that he was searching for God and visited a large church one Easter Sunday. He was enjoying the beautiful service and feeling so drawn to what he was experiencing. Everyone was standing singing a hymn and when he sat down there was a note in his chair. It said, "You know you are going to hell." He told me that he never went to church again. I don't blame him, but to my knowledge, he has not accepted Christ and is lost. When I found out Lance was gay, I dove into the scriptures looking for answers. The scriptures that kept jumping out to me were Jesus's warnings about judgment. The person who wrote that note should heed those warnings. Jesus says in Luke 6:37 "Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgiven." Jesus is telling us that we cannot lead others to him if we are judging and condemning them. When I hear fellow Sunday School members, co-workers, politicians, and Christian people on TV and radio say negative, judgmental things about gays, I just cringe and it breaks my heart. Not only are the Christian community pushing away gays who are Christians, we are alienating those who are lost. I believe with all my heart that Jesus would say to all Christians who are gay that they belong to him and that he loves them unconditionally. Jesus says in John 10:27-28, "My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand." I feel like I am on a journey and it just continues on each day. I would like to share one final revelation on this journey. Because I am such a tenderhearted person, sometimes my broken heart felt unbearable so I asked God to take away my tender heart. I don't know why I did this, but I looked up the word "tenderhearted" in the dictionary and it meant "having compassion". One day after that I read this scripture: "If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any TENDERNESS and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love... Your attitude should be the same as that of Jesus Christ." (Phillippians 2:1-5) God's message to me was clear. If he took away my tender heart, I would no longer have compassion for others. If I did not have compassion for others, I would not have the attitude of Christ. I never prayed that God take away my tender heart again. I believe the church needs to show that some compassion for everyone regardless of gender, regardless of race, and regardless of sexual orientation. My favorite scripture has always been, "God is my refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." (Psalm 46:1) I truly have found refuge in my Lord but I have to sadly tell you that I have not found refuge in my church. And neither has Lance and so many other Christians like him who want to be loved and accepted in a world that can be very cruel and hateful. I still attend church but admittedly with a heavy heart and with much anxiety. If I feel that way as the mother of a gay child, can you imagine the anxiety that a gay person sitting in my church feels? Once again, there is just something wrong with that. It would take a book to tell you every little detail of my journey and all that I have experienced and learned along the way. I have tried to briefly give you a testimony of the things God has laid on my heart. It is my prayer that we can all try to have a Christ-like attitude while on this earth. We, as Christians, must let the Holy Spirit lead us to find ways to reach out to all people regardless of our differences because I truly believe it is the right thing to do. I am convinced that is what Jesus would do. Thank you for allowing me to share with you and God bless you. Diane Bass |
