discrimination of any kind is hatred and damaging to us ALL. We are all the same - we are all brothers and sisters - there can only be fairness and a compassionate world when we can look into our brothers and sisters eyes and see ourselves. Do not consider this bill much less pass it!

Imagine a world where we all picked and chose the ones we wanted to help, deal with or sell to. If you choose customer service as your profession, then you don't have a say in your customers. And, this is a civil rights issue. They are being denied their rights, and now we want to discriminate against them more??? The south hasn't changed.

I am appalled at this bill. I am a Christian who believes that no one should be turned away. Read the New Testament!

If you want to start a bigots club, make it a private club. If you wabt to serve the public, do that. But you can't do both in the same place.

IF there are any moderate sensible republicans left, they need to stand up and begin to speak out against this type of ignorant and embarrassing actions by WAY to many of our state legislature.

As a Christian, we are to love all people and treat everyone like WE would like to be treated. A true Christian doesn't "hide" behind certain scripture. There is a loving God & God makes NO mistakes. Y'all are NOT God,......please don't portray yourselves as though you are..,.

As a gay woman, law abidding American I am very hurt and offended by this bill. I am a shopper who buys what I need based on what the stores have , the service I receive and price. I dont decide where to shop based on whether the people that work there are black , white , spanish , gay or straight . It sadness and hurts me personally. I like living here in the South and hope I can continue that but I wont if hateful bigoted laws like this are passed. Please TN should us all that you are openminded and loving of all people.d

These men obviously think their constituents support this type of bigotry. I hope they are wrong.
