Diane Kerley Long signed Governor Haslam, Keep listening and oppose HB2414 2016-04-17 21:19:15 -0500Please, Governor Haslam, think long before signing this unconstitutional and impractical nonsense. It’s a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist. There have been no reports of attacks by transgenders anywhere, especially in bathrooms.
How would this be enforced? Where would a transgender man go to use the bathroom? If he goes to the men’s, he’d be arrested. If he goes to the women’s, looking like a man, it’s awkward for everyone, and he could be attacked.Governor Haslam, Keep listening and oppose HB2414
Sign this NEW petition urging Governor Bill Haslam to keep listening to the voices opposed to the anti-transgender student bathroom bill!
Add signatureGovernor Haslam, please continue to oppose HB2414 and listen to the voices of transgender students and the business community speaking out against the bill. Thank you for considering our views.
