Since 2005 Kentucky Equality Federation has served as public advocate for people discriminated against and disenfranchised.

From protesting Governor Fletcher and later Representative Fischer for saying 'gays had not suffered enough,' sponsoring a Soulforce Equality Ride, forcing school boards to allow Gay-Straight Alliances, rallying at Northern Kentucky University and the Hazard Pavilion forcing policy changes, organizing the first gay marriage license in Lexington and Louisville, restoring the Kentucky AIDS Drug Assistance Program (KADAP) to successfully pushing the first federal hate crime, the work if Kentucky Equality Federation is critical to the citizens of Kentucky.
