LilithMonkey 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️♾️🌈What’s Really Happening in Tennessee Right Now — And Why It Matters for All of Us
The Tennessee legislature has introduced a coordinated cluster of bills that all target LGBTQ people in different ways. Each bill looks small on its own, but when you put them together, a clear pattern emerges: They remove protections, reduce visibility, limit recognition of LGBTQ families, and take power away from local communities.
It's a blueprint for other states. Tennessee is in the Whitehouse and declared itself a blueprint for immigration. Tennessee is also a blueprint for anti-lgbtq+ existence, which eventually means your existence too (even if you're not lgbtq+).
Here is what they're doing in our state... and soon, your state:
1. The “Banning Bostock Act” (HB1472) This bill says the FEDERAL act regarding anti‑discrimination laws cannot protect LGBTQ people.
2. The Marriage Non‑Recognition Bill (HB1473) This bill will allow private businesses and organizations to refuse to recognize same‑sex marriages.
3. The “No Pride Flag or Month Act” (HB1474)
This bill bans Pride flags, Pride emblems, and PRIDE MONTH
