" Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender denizens of the Bluegrass State aren't so lucky.
It's one of 31 states where, according to state law, employers can fire and harass workers for being gay or transgender. And the situation is not — to borrow a popular phrase among LGBT rights advocates — getting better. Less than a year after same-sex couples won marriage rights at the Supreme Court and as public opinion becomes increasingly gay-friendly, efforts to extend workplace discrimination laws to LGBT people are struggling to gain traction across the country."
