The Fairness Campaign's political action committee, C-FAIR, has
announced endorsements for fourteen Jefferson County races in Kentucky's
Tuesday, May 22 primary election.
Judge Irv Maze receives the C-FAIR nod in the nonpartisan primary
for Kentucky Court of Appeals 4th Appellate District, 1st Division.
Judge Maze's long-standing support of Fairness alongside his wide range
of experience in all three branches of government makes him a strong,
logical choice.
Steve Ryan earns the edge over his opponents in the Democratic
primary for Commonwealth's Attorney. Ryan's restrictive views on
the death penalty along with his ideas regarding the restructuring of drug
courts, using mediation in criminal cases, and initiating a restorative justice
programfocusing on the victims and the offenders, as well as the involved
communityelucidate his commitment to Fairness and
justice for all. He maintains a wealth of experience both
on the bench and within the Commonwealth's Attorney
office, and, in his intervew, elaborated on a number of
creative ideas utilizing community programs to diminish
high crime rates.
Amy Shoemaker is C-FAIR's choice in the four-way
Democratic primary for Kentucky Senate District 19. The C-FAIR
team believes Shoemaker's engaging personality, ability to negotiate, and
political newcomer status will allow her to most successfully navigate
the politically charged, partisan atmosphere of the Kentucky Senate. Her
vivid commitment to social and economic justice combined with a keen
understanding of Fairness issues makes her an ideal representative for this
diverse Louisville senate district.
Senator Denise Harper Angel once again earns C-FAIR's support
in the Democratic primary for Kentucky Senate District 35. Senator
Harper Angel's breadth of knowledge and experience with Fairness issues
coupled with her many successful years of service in the Kentucky Senate
confirms she is best equipped in the race to further the cause of Fairness.
Senator Perry Clark, uncontested in his Democratic primary for
Kentucky Senate District 37, receives strong C-FAIR support for his bold
co-sponsorship of a statewide anti-discrimination Fairness law last year
and his stated commitment to equality for all Kentuckians.

Representative Reginald Meeks is again the C-FAIR choice in the
Democratic primary for Kentucky House District 42. A long-time ally
of Fairness, as an alderman Rep. Meeks cast early votes for Louisville's
original Fairness ordinance and has supported and co-sponsored inclusive
legislation ever since.
Representative Tom Burch (Kentucky House District 30), Representative
Mary Lou Marzian (Kentucky House District 34), Representative Joni
Jenkins (Kentucky House District 44) and Susan D. Johns (Kentucky
House District 48), all champions of Fairness, receive solid endorsements
in their uncontested Democratic primary races.
Councilwoman Attica Woodson Scott earns the C-FAIR endorsement
in the Democratic primary for Metro Council District 1. Councilwoman
Scott, a former organizer for Kentucky Jobs With Justice, has proven time
and again she has few peers as energetic and effective a social justice
advocate as herself.
Councilman Tom Owen's long and distinguished record of progressive
public service grants him another C-FAIR endorsement in the Metro
Council District 8 Democratic primary. A University of Louisville
historian, Dr. Owen knows Louisville, its history, and its
needs as well or better than anyone in Metro Government.
Councilman Rick Blackwell receives the C-FAIR
endorsement once more in his uncontested Democratic
primary for the Metro Council District 12 seat. Endorsed
by C-FAIR for nearly a decade, Councilman Blackwell has
proven himself a strong friend of Fairness and labor.
Ryan Teague Ridge, a first-time political candidate for Metro Council
District 18, has earned the C-FAIR endorsement in his uncontested
Democratic primary for his comprehensive support of all our civil rights,
social, and economic justice issues. A successful entrepreneur in a variety
of businesses, Ridge possesses an intimate knowledge of and passionate
commitment to the welfare of District 18 residents.
Candidate questionnaires were mailed to each individual running for state
or local office in Jefferson County. Those who returned a questionnaire
were then granted an interview with a team of C-FAIR volunteers and
board members, who then made an endorsement recommendation to the
full C-FAIR board of directors.
Participation in the candidate interview process is welcome and
encouraged, as are expressions of support for candidates prior to C-FAIR
endorsement decisions. To join an interview team or make an expression of
candidate support for future elections, please e-mail
CFAIRTeam@gmail.com or call 502.893.0613.

Highland Baptist to
ordain Faith Leaders
for Fairness co-chair
Highland Baptist Church in Louisville
voted recently to ordain Maurice
"Bojangles" Blanchard into ministry on
May 27 at 4 p.m.. A Fairness Campaign
Coordinating Committee member and
co-chair of Faith Leaders for Fairness,
Bojangles will become the first openly
gay man ordained by Highland Baptist,
where he founded "True Colors Ministry."
According to Reverend Joe Phelps, the
church made its decision because, "we
knew him, loved him, had been touched by his dedication to God and to
reaching out to a population that had been deeply wounded by churches in
the past. We knew Bojangles was the personification of a minister."

Maurice "Bojangles" Blanchard
the queer state of our state
director's note
Nothing could have prepared me, upon assuming
this post three years ago, for the dilemma Kentucky's
persistent political drama would pose in the pursuit
of our equal civil rights. Admittedly, the plight of
Fairness for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and
queer (LGBTQ) KentuckiansAmericans, really
has changed dramatically since 2004, when we
suffered a devastating defeat alongside many other
states in that year's constitutional battle to ban same-gender marriage. But
how much has really changed in Kentucky?
Gallup polls show the majority of Americans favor same-gender marriage,
and President Barack Obama has just now historically affirmed our basic
human right to wed who we love, but what does that mean in the Bluegrass?
Whenever I meet with new constituents, I am consistently amazed at their
assumption that marriage equality is the issue at hand. Not in Kentucky, I
have to tell themit's not even close.
When speaking outside Covington, Lexington, and Louisville, I must inform
the audience they can still be legally fired from their job, denied a place to
live, or be kicked off a bus or out of a restaurant if someone thinks they're
LGBTQ. Their mouths inevitably agape, the audience must slowly come to
the unfortunate realization that when it comes to Fairness in Kentucky, things
just aren't that fair.
Even though the Fairness Coalition's recent poll provides empirical
evidence the vast majority of Kentuckians favor LGBTQ anti-discrimination
protections83%, in factwe can, at most, convince fifteen members of our
state's legislatureroughly 11%to sponsor Fairness laws.
This is not to say vast progress has not been made through our work in the
state. We have had much unparalleled success in Frankfort, beginning with
the 2009 defeat of a proposed adoption ban in the Senate. Then in 2010, we
went on to maneuver offensively for the first time in more than a decade, with
no anti-Fairness legislation to battle in either the State Senate or House.
Last year, we achieved an unprecedented victorybi-partisan passage of
Rep. Mary Lou Marzian's anti-bullying bill out of the House Education
Committee with a nearly unanimous vote of 21-1. Though the measure stalled
on the House floor, we maintained great hope for its progress this legislative
session.
But things are different this year. Politicians are up for reelection.

I sat in shock alongside grieving parents, who lost their children mere months
ago to bully-induced suicide, as members of the same legislative panel let
their election-year colors show. This session, all but one House Republican
flipped their vote from last year to defeat the bullying measure, marking it as
a divisive wedge issue for use as political fodder in the upcoming elections.
We cannot bring back Sam Denham, Miranda Campbell, Ashley Quertermous,
or the countless unknown Kentucky children who have taken their own lives
to end the incessant bullying and harassment they suffered at school. But we
can make our voices heard.
Barack Obama's bold stance for Fairness should inspire us all to take equally
bold, decisive action to end discrimination in our Commonwealth and protect
our children from politically motivated prejudice.
We all must do our part. I know you share our vision of Fairness for all
Kentuckians. Will you take a stand with me? Become a member of the Fairness
Campaign today, get involved at www.Fairness.org, and join the conversation
on Fairness and equality @FairnessCamp.
