Nashville, Tenn. was the most recent U.S. city to add gender identity anti-discrimination laws to their local ordinances. Tennesee, itself, then saw the praise of national organisations to Nashville, and realised it was time to get serious as well. The bill passed, and now all Tennesee buisnesses and other places of employment must add sexual orientation and gender identity to their policies.
The Southern Baptists (what else is new?) instantly introduced a bill to reverse it. And it passed the Tennesee House. *Sigh*
Opponents were using outdated arguments to try and prove themselves. I believe their true goal here is to annoy the Senate until they give up and pass it.
Let me explain what the anti-discrimination bill would do. It's mandating that policies and local government follow the federal anti-discrimination. It should make perfect sense to the patriotic citizens (and, by precedent, we know this group strives for.)
Give it up, Baptists. You'll never be able to make this sound like it makes sense.
