It looks as if Kentucky Equality Federation and Kentucky Fairness Alliance have been successful in getting the General Assembly (Democrats no doubt) to drop the issue of boyfriend benefits from the Extraordinary Session Agenda. But do not worry just yet, the Family Foundation of Kentucky is planning a "protest" at the Capital to greet the House when they return. Join them if you can.
About 250 people are expected to gather Monday in Frankfort in opposition to domestic partner benefits in Kentucky’s public universities and agencies.
The “Rally to Protect Marriage” is set for 2 p.m. in the state Capitol Rotunda, said Kent Ostrander, executive director of the Family Foundation of Kentucky, the sponsor.
Ostrander said “we want to simply encourage the legislature to take up Senate Bill 5.” The legislation passed the upper chamber 28-6 in a truncated special session earlier this month.
In 2004, more people voted "Yes" for the Kentucky Marriage Protection Amendment than had ever voted both "Yes" and "No" combined on any other constitutional amendment in Kentucky history. After passage with record-breaking participation by citizens, those pushing "other" sexual relationships counter-attacked by influencing the upper-level administrations of the state’s two flagship universities – the University of Kentucky and University of Louisville.
There they set out to create "domestic partnerships" and offer them benefits. U of L started offering such benefits to employees who had live-in homosexual or heterosexual lovers in January and UK's Board decided to follow U of L's lead in April. Their goal is to establish them at the two largest universities, move them into other schools, then into cities and, ultimately, render the Marriage Protection Amendment useless.

get these faggots out of our schools
U of L and UK each said domestic partner benefits would cost an additional $600,000 per year. And that was before Stumbo expanded them beyond people who are having sex.
