20 years, always growing, learning, and going strong

04/26/2026

For the first time in years, Kentucky's legislative session ended without a single anti-LGBTQ+ law passing — and it wasn't a coincidence.

Lawmakers filed 10 anti-LGBTQ+ bills this session. None made it to the governor's desk. Advocates say the wins came down to organized lobbying groups like the Fairness Campaign and Kentucky Competes, and everyday Kentuckians who showed up in Frankfort, made calls, and testified — even with the Capitol closed for renovations.

"Nothing 'just happens' in Frankfort," ACLU of Kentucky spokesperson Eric King said. "The real power came from people across Kentucky who stood up and said: not here, not now."

Read the full breakdown of every bill, who lobbied on them, and what made the difference this session. Photo by Skylar Davis.
