United We Stand recently upgraded to an online news site for Kentucky’s gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender population.  This upgrade was due not only because the URL name contained the name “Kentucky Equality Federation,” but also to bring Kentucky a state-of-the-art online news site.

As a result, none of our previous posts are on the new site.  However, a link to the only site is provided below for research purposes, or to find old articles.  A link is also provided in the right column called “Popular Old Site News.”

United We Stand (old version)

Why did the older version contain the name Kentucky Equality Federation?

United We Stand™ is Kentucky’s Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, and Intersex News.  United We Stand was started in November 2005 by Jordan Palmer as the official, “off the record” blog of Kentucky Equality Federation. In September 2009 United We Stand became an independent news site to cover LGBTI news in Kentucky. Though Mr. Palmer is not part of our day-to-day operations, his philosophy continues to guide us:

1.  United We Stand™ covers news related to Kentucky’s LGBTI community. Our name was chosen carefully; not only is it part of the motto of the Commonwealth, but it truly defines our community as a whole, as does the entire motto of the Commonwealth: “United We Stand, Divided We Fall.”

2.  Former U.S. President (and Kentuckian) said: “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” Meaning that all of Kentucky’s LGBTI population must place doubt, fear, hatred, and everything else aside; our only objective must be victory in the form of equality and fairness. As such, United We Stand covers news and events from Kentucky’s LGBTI Advocacy Organizations in a fair and objective manner without favoritism or prejudice to any organization.
