The fundamental dignity of every person is the cornerstone of good public policy. Wisdom leads us to respect the diversity of our neighbors and to a shared prosperity for all. Words and laws that divide us have no place as Tennessee looks to the future. We need the strengths of everyone.
Legislation has been introduced in the Tennessee General Assembly that diminishes and threatens LGBTQ people. Bills that remove life-saving healthcare from transgender youth and adults, malign drag performances, create obstacles for LGBTQ students, and challenge marriage equality do lasting harm.
As organizations committed to the path of mutual respect and the goal of everyone’s dignity, we call on the Tennessee General Assembly to abandon these discriminatory proposals.
