The Tennessee GOP has continued their assault on gay rights with the “license to bully” bill. If passed, the Tennessee “license to bully” bill would allow students to justify bullying their gay peers by pointing to a political or religious conviction. 

This comes on the heels of Republican efforts to pass the infamous “Don’t Say Gay” bill in Tennessee, which would prevent public elementary and middle schools from teaching or distributing material on human sexuality that deals with homosexuality. 

Tennessee has seen the heartbreaking story of Jacob Rogers, a young man who took his own life due to being bullied for being gay. We need to provide more support for gay teens, not turn our backs on them.

This is ridiculous. I can’t believe I live in such an ignorant state. Please go here and sign the petition!
