Last week marked the start of Kentucky’s 2017 legislative session. Anti-equality lawmakers have already filed several bills targeting the transgender community and measures that seek to give cover to people who discriminate against LGBTQ Kentuckians under the guise of religion.

Shame on Rep. Nelson for filing these hateful bills. Sadly, they are just 2 of many anti-#LGBTQ bills we expect in #Kentucky in 2017 (2/2)
