The page will show bills of particular interest to Tennessee's LGBTQ community. All bills filed in the Tennessee General Assembly affect our community, but only some focus on sexual orientation and gender identity issues.  These include the "Slate of Hate" bills, but can also include constructive bills or bills we think could be amended for adverse purposes.

HJR5 by Rep. Behn.  "Constitutional Amendments - Proposes an amendment to prohibit this state or an instrumentality of this state from abridging or denying a person's rights on account of sex." Commentary: A positive move. It will be important to watch for amendments.
