LINK IN BIO ✍️ @tomlallyky In the past year, the number of our chronically homeless neighbors has increased by about 200%. While shelters and other resources are making great strides to meet the need while bearing the brunt of Kentucky’s criminalization of homelessness, their work cannot be done alone.

A lengthy anti-crime law known as the “Safer” Kentucky Act took effect in July of 2024. A portion of the law prohibits “unlawful camping,” making it illegal to sleep or camp on a street, sidewalk, area under a bridge or underpass, path, park, cemetery, or other area designated for use by pedestrians or vehicles.

LINK IN BIO Curtis Galloway, founder of Conversion

LINK IN BIO Curtis Galloway, founder of Conversion Therapy Survivor Network, says because of this nuance, the laws don’t have much impact. “Ninety-five percent of people [in the network] would not fall under the protections of the laws that are in place.”⁠
⁠
Almost 80 survivors in Galloway’s network have reported going through conversion therapy and many of them by religious leaders. In Nebraska, one survivor reported experiencing conversion therapy at Parkview Baptist Church. In Charleston, at Christ Temple Church. And in California, at Living Waters. All three churches did not respond to requests for comment.⁠
⁠
Galloway’s organization hosts Survivor Sundays online with 15-20 people showing and more and more people joining. “We have to add another weekly meeting,” he says.

2024 brought more events, more training, more maga

2024 brought more events, more training, more magazine covers, and more Queer Bourbon than ever before. Most importantly, they allowed us to connect with LGBTQ+ Kentuckians and our friends in surrounding states. If you want to join our campaign to improve LGBTQ+ access to information, support, and resources in 2025, please check out our Bedfellows program, available through the Link In Bio.
