BREAKING: “Don’t Say Gay” Passes the Tennessee Senate

projectqueer:

As expected, lawmakers have passed the bill that would make it illegal to talk about gays in Tennessee schools. Or, as George would have us say, “to talk about Takeis.”

There was just one minor tweak before they passed it: now, it only applies to K-8.

So, the very thin silver lining is that at least it won’t apply to high schoolers.

Because to discuss Ellen DeGeneres and Tchaikovsky with anyone who has not yet reached 9th grade is to put them in mortal danger.

i just love being in a state that loves to discriminate!

tn lawmakers also passed the special access to discriminate (sad) act recently, a direct backlash to Nashville Metro passing the CanDo Ordinance which forced city contractors to abide by Metro’s workplace discrimination policies which include sexual orientation and gender identity.

thanks tennessee.
