About Queer Kentucky
In a deeply red state, Queer Kentucky is the only dedicated LGBTQ newsroom, keeping an often rural and at risk population informed on public health, politics & government, and arts & culture news, along with the everyday experiences of Kentuckians.
Their articles have been nationally recognized and shared across the world, bringing the stories of Kentuckians to over 3 million people a year. They collaborate with journalists, writers, and historians to report on the experiences, barriers, successes, news, history, and joy experienced by the Queer community throughout all corners of the Bluegrass state.
What’s next? More stories. More community. Join them over this next year as they fight to keep the LGBTQ+ community informed, empowered, and healthy.
