Tennessee Green-Lights Discrimination (related, but different)

theJosephDean · May 24, 2011

Inspired by antigay animus, Tennessee has passed a bill that abolishes antidiscrimination ordinances passed by cities and counties, effectively leaving LGBT people susceptible to bias in everything from housing to employment.

Republican governor Bill Haslam signed the bill into law Monday, after it was passed by the legislature earlier in the month. The legislation came in response to Nashville's recent ordinance requiring city contractors to avoid discrimination against LGBT people in their business dealings. The new bill reverses city- and county-enacted discrimination bans and prevents them from being passed in the future. While Tennessee protects certain minorities from discrimination, gays, lesbians, and transgender people are not included in that list of protected groups.

... What the hell. First, we can't be talked about. But now we can be discriminated against? I thought we didn't exist all of a sudden.

Spoiler-tagging this as to not offend anyone:

GODDAMN FUCK SHIT, WHAT THE HELL, TENNESSEE?!!?!? SERIOUSLY! As much as I already hated this fucking state, I HATE IT EVEN MORE.

*deep breath*

Sigh. Just two more years before I can hopefully go to Berkeley and get away from this.
