for no reason other than blatant bigotry and spite. It passed the senate 30-0. So much hate in our state.”
Much to the chagrin of the sizable gay community in Nashville and the country music industry, Tennessee has become renowned across the country in recent years for legislature like the so-called “anti-gay adoption bill,” which allowed religious foster care and adoption agencies to continue to receive taxpayer funding regardless of discriminating against prospective gay parents. It was signed into law by Republican Gov. Bill Lee in January 2020.
In April, more than 40 businesses associated with Nashville’s music industry signed an open letter to members of the Tennessee General Assembly, saying a number of bills under consideration were “misguided and would codify discrimination” against LGBTQ Tennesseans.
Tennessee you pile of shit
Because of course they did.
I want a hot take from Dolly Parton right this minute.
How disappointing - do the actual voters aka 'residents' get a say? GOP sucks
Not surprised. 😕
The TN GQP controlled leg is an daily embarrassment. Their slate of hate this session is off the charts. So many anti-LGBTQ bills just move right on. TJ gets shut out, but Ben Shiparo, Candace Owen, and Tomi get honored. There is just so much Dolly can do to redeem this state.
Shameful behavior by Republicans.
