DISCRIMINATION IN TENNESSEE: Legislature Sends Anti-LGBTQ Child Welfare Bill to Governor’s Desk
DISCRIMINATION IN TENNESSEE: Legislature Sends Anti-LGBTQ Child Welfare Bill to Governor’s Desk
Today, HRC condemned the Tennessee legislature for passing HB 836, a bill that would allow child welfare organizations — including taxpayer-funded adoption and foster care agencies — to turn away qualified Tennesseans seeking to care for a child in need, including LGBTQ couples, interfaith couples, single parents, married couples in which one prospective parent has previously been divorced, or other parents to whom the agency has a religious objection. The bill has passed through both chambers and will now be sent to the governor’s desk. HRC urges Governor Bill Lee to veto this bill.
HB 836 could have a sweeping, harmful impact in child welfare services by enabling discrimination against LGBTQ people, same-sex couples, interfaith couples, single parents, married couples in which one prospective parent has previously been divorced, or other qualified parents to whom an agency has an objection. The biggest barrier to placing children with families is a lack of qualified prospective parents; having the state give contractors and subcontractors a license to discriminate, thereby limiting the pool of prospective parents for no legitimate reason, is unconscionable and an unacceptable use of taxpayer dollars.
“Lawmakers in Tennessee used some of the first minutes of their legislative session to enshrine discrimination into law,” said HRC President Alphonso David. “These legislators are disregarding the best interests of kids in the child welfare system to create a ‘license to discriminate’ against qualified, loving prospective parents. This bill does nothing to improve the outcomes for children in care, shrinks the pool of prospective parents and is a blatant attempt to discriminate against LGBTQ Tennesseans. It is shameful that one of the first orders of business in Nashville was to target LGBTQ people. We urge Tennesseans to make their voices heard in opposition to this bill as it heads to the governor’s desk.”
“Passing a bill that funds discrimination in adoption and foster care is one of the worst ways to start a legislative session,” said Chris Sanders, executive director of the Tennessee Equality Project. “Despite a vigorous debate on the bill, the best interests of children in Tennessee lost today. We join friends and allies across the country in calling for the governor to veto the bill.”
HRC recently released a report, titled Disregarding the Best Interest of the Child: License to Discriminate In Child Welfare Services, detailing the harms of efforts to write anti-LGBTQ discrimination by child welfare agencies into law. Statistics suggest that an estimated two million LGBTQ adults in the U.S. are interested in adoption, but the LGBTQ community often remains an untapped resource when it comes to finding families for children and youth in foster care.
Research consistently shows that LGBTQ youth are overrepresented in the foster care system, as many have been rejected by their families of origin because of their LGBTQ status, and are especially vulnerable to discrimination and mistreatment while in foster care. HB 836 will only exacerbate these challenges faced by LGBTQ young people.

Oh, when I first met you I did not think it would ever lead to this.
No, I did not think I’d have ever got the chance to witness this.
No, but here we are and you just closed the door to your room…
And now we’re alone.
Black boots, tight jeans, blonde hair, red lips, those looks could kill.
I can’t stop myself from staring, standing so still.
The way you look at me with that smile and those eyes,
And next thing I know you start to dim the lights…

My thanks to SLAM // kink & stuff, Short Leash, and After Midnight Fashion! I’m pleased and humbled that these brands enjoy my style enough to allow me to play with all of their fun goodies.
For everyone who follows me for reasons other than product features (which is most of you), fear not! I’m going to continue shooting in my usual style and incorporating all sorts of gear and goods into my photos just like I always have. I’ve actually already been doing it for quite a few months. I’m exceptionally selective when I approach a brand or a brand approaches me – I need to appreciate their stuff enough to actively, truly be inspired by it otherwise it’s not a good fit. These folks are enabling me to be even more artistic and creative, definitely not less.
This version of the photo is meant for the blogger and ad groups. Clean version available here.

Cynthia Nixon headed to Broadway…with Ellen?
Cynthia Nixon headed to Broadway…with Ellen?
Actress Cynthia Nixon has announced she will wade into directing with a new production of the iconic lesbian drama Last Summer at Bluefish Cove. Ellen DeGeneres and Lily Tomlin have also signed on to produce along with Harriet Newman Leve, Portia de Rossi and Jane Wagner.
The New York Times has announced that Nixon, known both for her role in Sex and the City and for her run for Governor of New York in 2018, will mount the first-ever Broadway production of the 1980 play. Upon its off-Broadway debut, playwright Jane Chambers won praise for her depiction of lesbian life–a rarity on stage, even by today’s standards. The plot follows a group of lesbian women vacationing at the island of Bluefish Cove one summer, joined by a straight woman who hasn’t figured out that she’s surrounded by queer women.

“None of the women in this play apologize for being lesbians,” Chambers told The Times in 1981. “They accept it and go on to lead productive lives. I don’t know why that should be a threat to people.”
An opening date, venue and cast have yet to be announced, though the play is set to open sometime this year.

JAMES MURDOCH. Murdoch son blasts News Corp and FOX News Channel over climate change denial: “Kathryn and James’ views on climate are well established and their frustration with some of the News Corp and Fox coverage of the topic is also well known. They are particularly disappointed with the ongoing denial among the news outlets in Australia given obvious evidence to the contrary.”
TOO LATE. UN Convention on Biological Diversity sounds alarm on sixth mass extinction: “Almost a third of the Earth will need to be protected by 2030 and pollution cut by half to save our remaining wildlife, as we enter the planet’s sixth era of mass extinction, according to a United Nations agency.“

OKURRRR. Cardi B may run for Congress.
HERE WE GO AGAIN. Russians hacked Ukrainian company at center of impeachment. “The Russian tactics are strikingly similar to what American intelligence agencies say was Russia’s hacking of emails from Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman and the Democratic National Committee during the 2016 presidential campaign. In that case, once they had the emails, the Russians used trolls to spread and spin the material, and built an echo chamber to widen its effect.”
Chairman Schiff tells @maddow that he is a “bit distressed” that he first learned about the Russian hacking effort of Burisma from the New York Times report and that the Intelligence Community has not come to the Intel Committee with any information about it.

MADE-FOR-TV DRAMA. What Trump wants from his impeachment trial: “The biggest gamble now is the White House’s decision to put Pat Cipollone, the top attorney, out in front as the face of the president’s defense. While Cipollone is known as a well-respected litigator within conservative circles and a close ally of the president, his chops on TV remain unproven at best.”

$7.2 BILLION. Trump diverting funds from Pentagon to pay for border wall. “The administration will take $3.5 billion from counterdrug programs and $3.7 billion from military construction funding, according to internal planning figures obtained by the Post, compared to $2.5 billion and $3.6 billion, respectively, last year.”

PRANK OF THE DAY. British reporter tricked into wearing a full body armor suit to handle a “drop bear” (aka koala). “So drop bears are a close cousin of the koala, but they’re actually really vicious. So it’s sort of like a dingo and a normal domestic dog. They’re bigger, they’ve got longer claws, they’ve actually got really small fangs, and the interesting thing about the fangs is they have a really mild venom.”
