Murfreesboro, Tennessee Banned Public Homosexuality

"Public homosexuality" can be a very broad term. I suppose that's the point.
 
I imagine there is a Supreme Court Case just in the wings for all of this.

Someone is anticipating this will end up in front of the Roberts Court and set the stage for banning gays in public across the US.
 
I read the article. It seems like theater. They have no chance of the high court protecting this discrimination. They would have to define specific acts, same no matter who commits them, as indecency.

All the language about same sex will be stricken and the city will get to pay hefty court costs.

Grandstanding to get out the vote before the Trump Show in 2024, plain and simple.
 
The report linked in the OP says that the city has prohibited "indecent exposure, public indecency, lewd behavior, nudity or sexual conduct" and states that "sexual conduct includes homosexuality". I note "includes" rather than "is limited to". That suggests that heterosexual sexual conduct is also prohibited.

Murfreesboro sounds like a sundown town. That's all I got.

The educational level of Murfreesboro ranks among the highest in the nation. The city is ethnically diverse. More people in Murfreesboro work in computers and math than 95% of places in the US and it ranks among the highest percentage of workers who telecommute. Many of the workers are knowledge-based, white collar. The median household income is $67k.
 
But is it?

The sodomy laws were struck down years ago.

Indecency laws end up having to be very specific.

The idea that this law is somehow inclusive of heterosexuals is absurd...The very mention that the law includes 'homosexuality' indicates it is not looking for a specific sexual act.

Did this diversity happen before or after the neo nazi White Lives Matter rally in 2017? A quick trip to google paints a less rosy picture of your racial Utopia, as I wholly anticipated it would. Points for effort though. :)

The usual attention-getting, and it never works.
 
This kinda amazes me.

Murfreesboro is not a small town, population 166,000. And it's home to Middle Tennessee State University.

I think this is probably a reactionary minority. Remember how antigay Cobb County, Georgia, was years ago? It had CHANGED. They'd never pull that again.
 
I suspect that the roots of the law are in the Tennessee Anti-Drag Bill that got struck down. And by tossing in Homosexuality with sexual acts, this bill will get struck down as well.

Federal judge rules Tennessee's anti-drag law 'unconstitutionally vague'

A Trump-appointed federal judge says Tennessee’s first-in-the-nation law designed to place strict limits on drag shows is unconstitutional.

Let's not go refuting caricatures of Southerners with any facts, now.

Need to let the haters hate.

Do those people vote?

Should they be held responsible for elected officials who created this mess?

Seriously, how smart can these voters be?
 
Good question.

Caricatures aside, the people of Tennessee have been voting for far right extremist GQP'ers it seems at all levels of government who are somewhat obsessed with targeting LGBTQ residents of the state.

If all these well educated, diverse, comfortably middle class residents of Murfreesboro are voting for representatives like this...then they are responsible for this mess.

Why do I think that many of them are Baptist?
 
Both parties use fear to manipulate their base. What exactly is "public homosexuality"? I wish that both sides would fix real problems such as homelessness and access to health care. I suppose that if one has a home and healthcare then it's not an issue.
 
The state is heavily Republican, but not uniformly.

Nashville, above all, is Democrat, as well as Memphis, and sometimes Knoxville and Chattanooga. It is a story repeated in many conservative rural climes. It makes it very difficult to get U.S. Senators elected who are not conservative and therefore Republican.

Murfreesboro is at the verge of the southeast flank of Nashville.

Remember the 37% of the state as blue, like you, when talking about the entire state. Not everyone is from a home and place that is majority blue. When the men my age were born in Tennessee, it was universally Democrat, but not progressive.

Labels change. Sometimes parties and people do.
