Cheers, Queers!
Bourbon & Belonging makes its neat – or on the rocks – debut in Kentucky STEVEN LINDSEY | Contributing writer StevenCraigLindsey@gmail.com people with lgbt rainbow flag standing together on tropical beach gay lesbian love parade pride festival transgender love concept horizontal vector illustration After all, if there’s one thing I learned about Kentucky bourbon on my first visit to the region last month, it’s entirely up to each person to decide how to drink their whiskey.
In fact, such a celebration of individuality will undoubtedly carry over to the first-ever Bourbon & Belonging, Kentucky’s Queer Bourbon Week (BourbonAndBelonging.com), taking place across the region from October 2-6.
Presented by Queer Kentucky (QueerKentucky.org), the multi-day event takes place in eight different cities and regions (Northern Kentucky, Louisville, Lexington, Frankfort, Winchester, Paducah, Bullitt County, and Bardstown).
When I visited in August as part of a long weekend exploring the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky region, I was delighted to find such a diverse community and an encouraging number of LGBTQ-owned businesses.
