GLSO Response to Ruling in Hands on Original Discrimination Case

The GLSO is disappointed at Judge Ishmael’s ruling.  We feel that this is a reminder that there are still many out there who feel that their citizenship is worth more than that of members of the LGBTQ+ community.  This is merely another battle on what has been a long road to full equality for the LGBTQ+ community; which, despite this decision, has been trending toward equality for all.  We will discuss this ruling with the Lexington Human Rights Commission and our lawyers, and make a decision on how we will choose to proceed going forward.

it’s Official, DOMA is struck down 5-4 & Prop 8, Lets Gay Marriage Resume In California

We at the GLSO are thrilled with today’s rulings on DOMA and Prop 8.  SCOTUS is coming down on the right side of history.  Californians can enjoy same-sex marriage, and all married citizens, gay or straight, will be recognized by our federal government. 
These rulings are an amazing step forward.
