Resisting Discrimination All Year
The signs are clear. We will face challenges to the legal and social equality we have achieved in the coming years. The forces of reaction at the national and state level are strong. But YOU can help us fight back all year with a sustaining, monthly investment in our work. Monthly giving is the best option for most budgets and it provides TEP with a reliable source of revenue for the battles we face throughout the year.
Although your gift is not deductible for purposes of federal income tax, it has the advantage of supporting direct lobbying and legislative organizing to protect Tennessee's LGBT community. Please, consider starting your monthly investment today. We are grateful for your support.
If you prefer to make a ONE-TIME donation to TEP, you can do so here.

DeWayne Fulton ⚡️ Release The Entire Report signed VETO Hate Bill 1840, the Counseling Discrimination bill 2016-04-06 11:25:06 -0500
VETO Hate Bill 1840, the Counseling Discrimination bill
Please, add your voice and urge Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam to veto this discriminatory bill.
Add signatureDear Governor Haslam,
We urge you to veto HB1840, which allows counselors to turn away clients based on the counselor's biases and values. This bill puts the focus on the desires of counselors rather than on the needs of clients, damaging the counseling profession and putting clients at risk.
An anti-bullying amendment was stripped from the bill in the House Health Committee leaving youth vulnerable in areas where mental health services are not widely available.
Thank you for considering our views.
