Queer Kentucky’s founder, staff and contractors are individuals who identify as queer or LGBTQ+, making them a minority-led organization serving similar minorities. 57% of the core team are Black and/or indigenous, reflecting diverse perspectives from our region and beyond.
Fostering the Community with an Online Story Telling Platform
Queer Kentucky is involved in the queer community most visibly through our online storytelling platform, which draws thousands of viewers per month and features over 20 LGBTQ+/BIPOC writers and storytellers. The interactions on the site by readers and writers alike orient the work toward those who are most silenced. By fostering this community through online and in-person activism, Queer Kentucky amplifies LGBTQ+ voices through various projects, from inception to continued support.
Mission Statement:
Queer Kentucky is a diverse LGBTQ+ run non-profit based in Louisville, Kentucky working to bolster and enhance Queer culture and health through storytelling, education and action. Through our storytelling approach, we give visibility and celebrate the lives of LGBTQ+ people in the great Bluegrass State.
