On Saturday, dozens of people protested the actions of a city employee, who allegedly removed two gay men with disabilities from a facility run by the city of Hazard.
In a report released by the city, a lifeguard at the Pavilion alleges the men were repeatedly hugging and kissing. Facility officials say this is inappropriate for both heterosexual and homosexual couples.
However, the Kentucky Equality Federation says the men were only sitting on each other's laps, and they were discriminated against.
Dozens from across the Commonwealth came to support the two gay men, who were allegedly thrown out of the Hazard Pavilion.
"It's time that people stood up for people. It's just the right thing to do." said Marsha Morgan from Leslie County.
"There was not kissing, and there was nothing of that sort. One of them sat on the other's knee and that was it," said Jordan Palmer, president of the Kentucky Equality Federation.
Palmer says the Pavilion worker, Kim Haynes, used the Bible to justify kicking the men out "Religion has no place in government, let alone a public facility. He did not have the right to do that to those people," said Palmer.
"I don't think it's a gay rights issue because a heterosexual couple would have been treated the same," said Kristi Dixon, who supports Haynes.
Dixon says she exercises at the Pavilion and knows Haynes, who she calls a meek, good man.
"If their behavior was extreme enough for Kim to say something to them, then it must have been really inappropriate," said Dixon.

Somebody here is outright lying.
Biased heterosexual that I am, I believe it is the fruits.
Yes it’s time someone stood up for people.
People who are sickened by the behavior of flaming fags.

Nope. Straight people would generally, have the decency to act discreetly. Slowly but surely, the fags are shoving their degenerate crap in people’s faces, then cry “racism” when they dont get their way.
ding - ding - ding!
We have a winner!!
...for those interested. :D
.....aberrants on the march (again) in the Bluegrass
I’m surprised the people of Hazard would tolerate this sodomite intrusion.
