About This Action

The Tennessee Legislature has proposed an overwhelming number of anti-LGBTQ bills this session -- collectively known as the "slate of hate." Many of these bills are similar to ones already passed in other states which is proof that we must defeat these bills everywhere or we will see them spread to every community. Some of these bills include:

• Senate Bill 364: Enshrines taxpayer-funded discrimination into law by prohibiting cities and state agencies from implementing policies that stop taxpayer funds from being used by businesses, organizations and contractors to discriminate against LGBTQ people in employment policies. 
• Senate Bill 1304: Allows private foster and adoption agencies to refuse to perform, assist, consent to, refer, or participate in any child placement for foster care or adoption that would violate the agency's written religious or moral convictions. We already have examples of Christian agencies refusing to place children with Jewish parents, single parents, and gay or lesbian parents. 
• Senate Bill 1499: Forces the state of Tennessee to spend millions of dollars to defend school districts that pass policies designed to discriminate against and harm LGB and especially transgender students.
