A Morning Bainwashing

Oct 26th, 2010 | By News Tips: tips@unitedwestandky.com | Category: Kentucky Guardian News, Viewpoints

If yesterday’s story scared you, these headlines are nothing short of crazy. As the election nears, you can expect more and more of the same!



Viewpoint: Louisville Tea Party is not anti-gay? We disagree!

Sep 14th, 2010 | By Trevor Ashley, Contributor | Category: Kentucky Guardian News, Viewpoints

A Louisville Tea Party supporter continues to flood us with emails stating the Louisville Tea Party is not anti-gay as previously reported. The Tea Party movement is no doubt as diverse as the Democratic, Republican, and Libertarian parties, each have anti-gay segments among their ranks.

Kentucky Senate President Williams says Kentucky needs new direction, apparently forgetting that his Senate failed to pass a budget, forcing Governor Beshear to call them into special session at an estimated cost of $66,000.00 per day.



Prop 8 ruling could be temporary and hurl marriage equality back decades

Aug 7th, 2010 | By Guest User 3 | Category: Kentucky Guardian News, Viewpoints

The legal battle over same-sex marriage is far from over. Last year, the leaders of major gay rights organizations issued a plea urging people not to make Prop 8 a federal issue. The national and state leaders of these organizations listed their reasons for issuing the plea — the battle must we waged within the states.



Count And Be Counted!

Apr 6th, 2010 | By Michael Thomas, Kentucky Political Editor & Senior Contributor | Category: Viewpoints

The census is back and this is the chance for every citizen to be counted. The census is important, as it determines the number of seats our state occupies in the House of Representatives. Additionally, the census provides vital information for advocacy, researching markets, locating pools of workers, and so much more. In short, the census is critical and we hope you will all participate.



Liberty Counsel’s Agenda for 2010: Take Back America

Dec 29th, 2009 | By Tony Begley, Contributor and Literary Editor | Category: Viewpoints

In an email to members, the anti-gay, very powerful Liberty Counsel outlines its 2010 priorities. Perhaps this email would have been somewhat inspiring had it not been so misguided. It was Liberty Counsel that first sounded the alarm to dismantle California’s same-sex marriage law. Should the legislation filed by Mary Lou Marzian (D-Louisville), a Senior Representative in the Kentucky House of Representatives to repeal Kentucky’s ban on same-sex marriage, civil unions, and “similar institutions,” make it out of a House Committee, we’ll have one heck of a fight on our hands.



Obama/Oprah White House Christmas in Bad Taste

Dec 18th, 2009 | By Julie Fite, Contributor | Category: Viewpoints

I found it bad taste for Oprah Winfrey to host the “White House Christmas” television special. We are in the middle of a major recession; states have no money, people continue to become homeless, jobs continue to shrink, people are starving right here in the United States, and homosexuals may soon be executed in the Republic of Uganda.



What can a Gay Kentuckian really do?

Dec 2nd, 2009 | By Michael Thomas, Kentucky Political Editor & Senior Contributor | Category: Viewpoints

Viewpoint: I see the Fairness Campaign, Kentucky Fairness Alliance, and the Kentucky Equality Federation tirelessly show up for -fight after fight, and I think- geez, when will this ever end? And I also wonder, what can we really do for today’s gay teenager in Elizabethtown or Paducah? I came across an unexpected answer in my reading tonight.



World AIDS Day, AIDS in Kentucky and AVOL

Nov 23rd, 2009 | By Trevor Ashley, Contributor | Category: Viewpoints

Since the termination of the Kentucky AIDS Assistance Program people living with HIV/AIDS are in need of assistance today more than ever. With December 1st being World Aids Day, I can think of no better way to contribute to the Worldwide event than to make a donate to AVOL, or attend their Red Ribbon Ball on December 5th at The Red Mile in Lexington.



Church, state and gay marriage

Nov 18th, 2009 | By Trevor Ashley, Contributor | Category: Viewpoints

The Catholic Archdiocese of Washington is warning the District of Columbia Council that the church will stop contracting to provide social services if the city approves same-sex marriage as planned. To which the only valid response is, “OK.”
