Gov. Haslam: No need for special session, lawsuit over transgender bathroom issue (TN)

Thank you Haslam (and I don't say that a lot)

"Despite the furor among Republican lawmakers and conservative interest groups, "there's nothing new," the governor said, in the guidance President Barack Obama's administration gave schools, colleges and universities last week over allowing transgender students to use the restrooms of their gender identity and that it was not an enforcement action."

I am upset that he is the "bad guy" now, not giving into Republican hate. Of course he could be persuaded, he has changed his mind before about expanding Medicaid.

Right, it's funny now...but wait until someone get seriously hurt or killed by those throngs.

We need to stay vigilant and prepared with plenty of towels and deodorant to thwart the coming tsunami.

I'd be more than happy to contribute my time and money to head up a "wipe down" brigade of stalwart volunteers.

Better safe than sorry!!!

Nice, so someone doesn't agree with your agenda...must be hate.

Good to know.

no, hate is hate.

Discrimination, opposite of love, ignorance, narrow minded thinking, judgments...that is hate

a reply to: veracity

Sorry, but I don't hate people just because I disagree with them.

a reply to: Metallicus

That's very nice and mature of you, neither do I

a reply to: veracity

OMG He's joined them, he's joined the 10 other pitiful republican states to try and sue Obama Admin over this school bathroom issue.
