Morrison: "Who knew? New Albany more progressive than most of Kentucky as it (very quietly) passes gay-rights law."

Somehow, Curt manages to steer the Insider Louisville discussion away from Lynn's Paradise Cafe recriminations onto an as-yet low key little something that New Albany is quite rapidly becoming renowned for possessing.
