ACLU of Kentucky

Legal Aid & Advocacy · Kentucky · Free

State affiliate defending LGBTQ+ civil rights in Kentucky. A starting point for asylum seekers fleeing anti-LGBTQ+ persecution who need pro-bono representation. Discrimination claims have short windows — federal EEOC is 180–300 days from the incident depending on state. Second-parent adoption is still recommended even after marriage equality, especially for travel across hostile states. Open at no cost to LGBTQ+ Kentucky residents and the people supporting them.
