Become A Sustaining Member Of Queer Kentucky’s Bedfellows

Right now, Queer Kentucky is fighting to keep independent queer journalism alive- and we need 250 new monthly donors before the year ends to do it.

This is our End-of-Year Campaign, and it’s the most important one we’ve ever launched.

When you join the Bedfellows, you become part of a statewide network of supporters who make it possible for us to keep publishing queer stories, covering the legislature, paying queer journalists, and holding power to account.

Because if we stop reporting, they win.

Kentucky’s Only LGBTQ+ Newsroom Needs You

This year, federal funding cuts gutted independent media across the country- and we were hit, too.
Nearly 60% of our budget disappeared overnight.
But we didn’t fold. We got leaner. Louder. Sharper.
Now, we’re turning to the people who’ve always had our back- you.

Your monthly donation powers:

• Queer journalists reporting from Pikeville to Paducah.

• Health and harm-reduction coverage that literally saves lives.

• Travel to Frankfort, where we fight for transparency in state government.

• Statewide features on queer joy, art, and resilience.

• Investigative stories that center queer lives with dignity.

• Resources, workshops, and harm-reduction partnerships that serve LGBTQ+ Kentuckians directly.

Every dollar you give keeps Kentucky’s queer press alive- independent, statewide, and loud.

Our Goal: 200 New Bedfellows by December 31

We’re counting on our community to grow this program to 200 new monthly donors before the year closes.
Whether you give $5 or $100 a month, you become a Bedfellow- part of the backbone that keeps queer news free, fearless, and local.

Join now and be counted before the clock runs out.

Every Bedfellow Keeps the Lights On

When you give monthly, you’re not donating to a newsroom- you’re investing in a movement. Our monthly donors cover what grants can’t: payroll, insurance, mileage to Frankfort, healthcare reimbursements, and the cost of making journalism accessible to everyone.

You’re saying queer Kentuckians deserve to be seen, heard, and funded.

Join the Bedfellows Today: Let’s hit 200 by New Year’s Eve and show the state what community power looks like.

We couldn’t do this without you,

Missy Spears, Executive Director
