Discrimination
Currently, there are no federal or state law that prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity. Terminating someone (or denying credit, housing, service) because of their sexual orientation is perfectly legal, though the cities of Covington, Lexington, and Louisville have municipal laws that prohibit such acts.
The term "gender
identity," distinct from the term "sexual
orientation," refers to a person’s innate,
deeply felt psychological identification as
male or female.
