One would think one wouldn't want to pour out their life troubles to someone who would otherwise turn them away if the government didn't force them to listen for hours.

Oh wait no, considering the people in question, they probably would.

Don't these pieces of s**t in the Tennessee legislature have anything better to do than to discriminate against the LGBT community with bills like these?

It really doesn't matter since a veto can be overridden with just a majority. Vetos are kind of pointless in Tennessee.

Big Mama's Bakery refusing to bake a cake for a gay wedding is one thing.


This, however, is just plain evil.

So, what's why he sponsors it. He doesn't want to grope a man by mistake.

They just made the Bible their state book, so apparently not.

On the positive side, it only took 34 women filing complaints for action to be taken against him. Dude's got nothing on Bill Cosby or Jimmy Saville.

If you're a mental health counselor and don't want to "deal" with LGBT patients because it goes against your "beliefs", please do us all a favor and quit. You really have no business treating patients.

Mental health is a huge issue in this country (not just with the LGBT population) and we need to make it easier/more accessible for people.
