It's an absolute disgrace to the otherwise great state of Tennessee and our nation that, despite the fact that people have given their lives to in the fight for civil rights in this country, Senators Kelsey, Dunn and now Bell would willingly deny their own fellow citizens those very rights. Calling this "shameful" doesn't even come close to accuracy, so I guess "unconstitutional" will have to suffice.

Totally a backwards bill. Discrimination should not exist on any level in America.

Just how backward and ignorant can you become. The Civil Rights Act was passed in 1964 to do away with this kind of discrimination. Grow Up!

This is discrimination & must not be allowed to be made into law. It's horrifying to me that any elected official would even write this in the first place, violating the sacred trust given by the people who voted them in, for your own misguided & bigoted agenda. I'm so disappointed our nation hasn't progressed beyond discrimination, to truly be the land of the free & home of the brave.

You've gotta be kidding me. You must be really upset that we womenfolk got the right to vote. Do you think Jesus would turn away someone because he or she happened to be gay?

These people are trying to take things all the way past ignorance..I will never understand why a person's private life is of such interest to those others..

I am still amazed at the number of people in leadership position in this nation who do no KNOW that separation of church and state was put in place to prevent any one religion from being favored. Religious freedom DOES NOT include the right to discriminate. This is social studies 101. Secular law trumps sacred rules. Plain and simple. No passes for your religious beliefs letting you discriminate.

This is absolutely abhorrent to think that we still live in a society where hatred can be excused for ignorance. It would be a dark day and one giant leap backwards in history if this were to pass.

Absolutely not! This is disgraceful and sickening. The bill is also a waste of time and will not stand the test of time, even if passed.

Shameful that our legislators spend time and money on a bill that's so blatantly unconstitutional.
