Christina Gilgor Quotations

Kentucky taxpayers do not want their dollars funding discrimination.

It has an overarching impact on the state in terms of attracting tourism, attracting conventions and attracting businesses that want to make their home here. It is very unfortunate that the governor has chosen to scapegoat a minority group in this way.

I think gay people across the state are most likely feeling very disappointed.

We're waiting for the court essentially at this point to see if they will unite the two cases. The governor has 20 days to respond. So we have 20 days until something happens. And my guess is after that the circuit will determine what will happen next.

You know there are always risks of being gay anywhere you are. There are risks of challenging the status quo anywhere you are. I think the risks went up for us just a little bit. But you can't let that get in the way of what you believe in and what you feel is right.

Discrimination is on its face wrong. Funding it with state tax dollars is unacceptable. We feel that if our tax dollars are going to fund an institution it should give equal opportunity to all students.

That's what we're trying to promote: More understanding of who we are and the fact that we're just like any other family in many ways.

It's just unfortunate that the governor thinks he can capitalize on discriminating against gays and lesbians. His motto for the state is 'unbridled spirit,' and it seems to me in the past week he's thrown that in reverse.

That's absurd. The relief we are seeking is to halt state funding to a private school that practices discrimination.

If Gov. Ernie Fletcher does not veto the funding, we plan to pursue a legal option based on our constitution, which says no religious institution should receive state tax dollars.

Gov. Fletcher has failed to uphold his duty to protect Kentucky citizens and enforce the Kentucky constitution.
