'Thanks, Obama': LGBTQ Louisvillians Bid Farewell

Creative Commons

Despite a rainy Thursday night, it was all smiles, drinks and blaring music from the ‘Obama years’ celebration at Big Bar on Bardstown Road.

The bar, along with the Fairness Campaign, hosted a "Thanks, Obama" party to celebrate his last day in office.

I spoke with some of the participants about what Obama has done for LGBTQ rights, including marriage equality, and what may come with the new administration.
