Stop using religion to discriminate in Tennessee

stopusingreligion.JPG

On April 18, 2016 about 30 pastors shamefully stood in Legislative Plaza and spoke in favor of the anti-transgender student bathroom bill.  And religion was used to advance the counseling discrimination bill.  Many more clergy across Tennessee publicly opposed both bills.

Whether you're religious or not, aren't you tired of religion being used to support discrimination in our laws?  If so, endorse this statement:

We oppose the use of religion to justify discrimination in Tennessee law.  To use religion to divide us in our public life violates the spirit of the U.S. and Tennessee Constitutions, does harm to the people of Tennessee, and brings scandal to religion.

    I am sick of hearing about religion from a bunch of no class, poorly educated white people who can’t afford a pot to piss in.

    You cannot use your beliefs to violate the rights of others.

    Stop using religion as an excuse to strip others of their basic human rights. Read up on history. This kind of behavior is not new. We Tennesseeans are better than this.
