Swimming Pool Update

Kentucky is not Tennessee. I noted yesterday the story of the two developmentally disabled gay men being evicted from a public swimming pool. The city has taken action:

An employee at a public swimming pool in eastern Kentucky was suspended for a week without pay after telling two disabled gay men to leave, city of Hazard officials said Saturday.

In Tennessee, they would have passed a law making it illegal for gays to swim.
