Season 2, episode 1: The Slate of Hate, or if School House Rock were a horror show
So much for a "limited" series. With this year's "Slate of Hate," Tennessee's anti-LGBTQIA+ legislation is coming on fast & furious. In this episode, we (mostly Nathan) break down the worst of these bills and how a bill becomes law in Tennessee. We also spell out what actions are needed to help stop these bills from becoming law. The links to bills and resources mentioned in this episode are below.

https://wapp.capitol.tn.gov/apps/mybills/Login.aspx - If you are a resident of TN, you can create an account and save bills that you want to track.
https://wapp.capitol.tn.gov/apps/BillInfo/Default.aspx?BillNumber=HB0001 - SB0001/HB0001 bans gender affirming care for persons under the age of 18, also punishes doctor who delivered gender affirming care within 20 years of that treatment, and allows for civil lawsuits for up to 30 years after the care was received.
https://wapp.capitol.tn.gov/apps/BillInfo/Default.aspx?BillNumber=SB0003 - SB0003/HB0009 adds “male and female impersonators” to the definition of “adult cabaret performers.” And makes it a class A misdemeanor for first offense and a class F felony (losing the right to vote) for a second offense. Basically allows the people who have used already existing nuisance laws to shut down Drag shows, to take their actions one step further and criminalize Drag performers.
https://wapp.capitol.tn.gov/apps/BillInfo/Default.aspx?BillNumber=SB0005 (SB0005/HB1378) Bill that blocks hormone therapy, mastectomies (top surgery), and gender reassignment (bottom surgery) for minors. Fact: in the last 5 years in Tennessee only 5 top surgeries have been performed on persons under 18, and ZERO bottom surgeries have been performed.
