Dear Governor Haslam,

We call on you to do everything in your power to lobby against passage of SB2387/HB2414, the anti-transgender student bathroom bill.  We also ask that you VETO the bill if it reaches your desk. 

The bill endangers vulnerable students and it risks significant U.S. Department of Education funds to Tennessee.  If this bill became law, the enforcement would be a nightmare for school districts across the state. 

Show the world that Tennessee is a welcoming state.  Thank you for considering our views.

Will you sign?

    I think we should just leave well enough ALONE! I have friends that look totally MALE, but were born female. This bill would really confuse things. Right now, people use the restroom of the way they LOOK. This bill is quite hateful to people that already have it rough.

    For Heaven’s sake, please keep working to stop this craziness over bathrooms and then see if we can’t do something about not having a “state gun.” Tennessee is getting really bad press over this silliness.

    One of the most common places for LGBT+ people to be sexually harassed and assaulted in is public bathrooms. Rules like this would only make this problem worse. Adolescence is an important time in a person’s life and feeling as though the system is set firmly against them will do nothing for their self esteem (or their respect for such a system). A population with such a high suicide rate (41%) because of socia stigma does not need an added layer of systemic violence against them. Love Tennesse’s trans kids and use your power to help the people who need it so desperately

    People who identify as transgender just need a place to relieve themselves. Is not a political battle, it’s a bodily function battle.
