Tennessee State Senator Brian Kelsey (R-Memphis and Germantown) and Rep. Bill Dunn (R-Knox) need to find something productive to do. THis is not.

"Religious freedom" obviously means I get to make second-class citizens out of anyone who disagrees with me, and my right to such religious expression obviously trumps any right anybody else has. That's what this country was founded on!

As a gay woman and mother this is disturbing as me and my wife have two sons that are civil servants and put their life on the line for people who sped hatred about their families. This is disgusting and uncivilized.

Legislation that sanctions hateful activity is not best 'left to Ceasar' but needs to be condemned by all citizens.

Such audacity is inconceivable. You, Mr. Kelsey, deserved to be barred and banned from any position of any kind of influence. How dare you!

This is absolutely unconscionable and only serves to make the state of Tennessee look ignorant to this basic human right. Time to get on the RIGHT side of history!

This is regressive and mean spirited at best. Prejudice and hateful. Stop work on this now.

This law is being proposed by people who obviously don't know any Gays, or won't admit that they do.

This is not just a step back. This is a step WAY WAY back! This bill reduces our state in the eyes of its citizens and the rest of the USA.

Jesus did not believe in or portray hatred. It is the will of God that ALL should come to him. Last time i checked its difficult to speak to someone you turn away... let us instead speak in LOVE....

This is despicable. I thought we had moved past Jim Crow.
