Let’s not create a law to deal with a problem that doesn’t exit. Let’s treat each other the way we would like to be treated. With respect.

HB2414 is abhorrent. By subjecting innocent people, the victims in this situation, to scrutiny and ridicule because of a personal belief is unconstitutional. Whether they be man, woman, or somewhere in between, they are the victims here and they deserve justice. They deserve the peace of mind afforded to the rest of us. These are the same civil rights people have been fighting for, and will fight for, ad infinitum. The right to use the bathroom without being humiliated. It seems we are always trying to vilify someone and this has recently fallen on the transgender community. Please, don’t stand for a bill that does nothing but further someone’s religious beliefs while taking away the rights of US citizens. Lest we forget, part of being American is the right to decide what you believe, to live by your values. If we allow this to pass into law, we are condoning individual interpretations of the constitution. Remember:

We are supposed to have inalienable rights. Among those rights, are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. HB2414 denies transgendered people these inalienable rights. Please, stand up for the people of Tennessee. Stand for our rights. Don’t these people deserve the same considerations as any other American CITIZEN? Thank you for your time and I hope you do the right thing.
