When I was invited to visit Kentucky early last year by MeetNKY, the tourism board promoting the region, I was encouraged by the fact that the website featured a section detailing how “y’all means all” — at least in their part of the country. Per MeetNKY (who, by way of disclosure, fully hosted my visit), “Northern Kentucky and Cincy are happy to welcome LGBTQ+ travelers and show them how ‘Y’all means all’ in our region.”
And during our visit, it certainly felt welcoming and friendly to both myself and my wife during We joyfully strolled down the streets of Covington, recently recommended as a great place for LGBT people to retire by Marketwatch, and felt completely at ease holding hands and giggling like the star-crossed lovers we are.
