Tennessee lawmakers have unleashed 3 anti-LGBTQ+ bills that deny people the right to marry and remove sex discrimination laws that protect against discrimination based on gender identity and sexual orientation.
HB 1472/SB 1745 directly rejects the Supreme Court decision in Bostock v. Clayton County and makes it so that Tennessee's sex discrimination laws do not cover discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity. This bill undermines the Civil Rights Act, threatens workplace security, and leaves many people without Constitutional protections.
HB 1473/SB 1746 would allow private citizens and organizations of the state to disregard Obergefell v. Hodges, the Supreme Court decision that granted same-sex couples the right to marry and equal protection. Everyone deserves access to the benefits of marriage, like access to preferential insurance and mortgage interest rates, family leave, and hospital visiting rights – all of which would be threatened under this bill.
HB 315/SB 737 this bill has been amended to prevent county and deputy clerks from issuing marriage licenses to non-heterosexual couples. This bill is a way to exclude LGBTQ+ people from the right to marry, which is a blatant violation of the Supreme Court's ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges. Tell your representative to vote "NO" on these bills and protect the right to exist as an LGBTQ+ person in Tennessee.
