I understand the political realities of living in Kentucky at the moment, and insisting that a candidate support full equality for LGBT people including marriage is unrealistic…for now. However, there is a difference in someone spouting the bullshit line about marriage and someone going after our families to make sure discrimination is codified in the law as Ben Chandler did. There’s a person on his donor list who ought to be ashamed, I’m just saying. Why not just give your money directly to the National Organization for Marriage?

There are a lot of people who should be ashamed.

Davis doesn’t appear much more owned by industry than Ben Chandler does.
