The Imperial Court of Kentucky is preparing to wrap up yet an-other year of fundraising in the Bluegrass as we approach Coronation 31 in June.\u00a0 The Imperial Court of Kentucky has been in existence for 30 years here in Kentucky.\u00a0 Through the years we have built community relation-ships, raised money for charities in need and provided a social outlet to any and all accepting of the GLBT community.\u00a0 All of this came from those humble beginnings established by our Kentucky founders, Marlon Austin and Greg Butler.<\/p>\n
Each year, beginning with our first Monarchs, Empress Julie Vaughn and Emperor Ray Allen, we have held an annual Coronation Ball.\u00a0 It is at this time that our membership elects the next Monarchs to represent the Imperial Court of Kentucky and her community for the next year.\u00a0 At this time we are proud to announce the candidates for Mon-arch, campaigning for Emperor 31, Duke Big D Lyons, and campaigning for Empress 31, Imperial Crown Princess 30 Trinity.<\/p>\n
We invite you to get to know your candidates and share with them your thoughts and aspirations for the Imperial Court of Kentucky.<\/p>\n
