Tennessee Is at it AGAIN!

Why not march the state back to cave cays.
 
Why are so many American states so embarrassingly backward?

It is no wonder that so many other countries just laugh at the cousin fucking hillbillies in Tennessee.
 
Except that to get it passed, they gutted it -- teachers can't talk about people being gay, but only in educational situations. So the can still talk to students with questions, outside of class.

No thanks to the Scotch-Irish immigrants! Anyhoo, you'd think with the advent of the television and the internet they'd get all modern and stuff. *|* (I'm sorry, I meant !oops!)
 
Ugh. Tennessee makes NC look progressive. And that's saying something..
 
Expecting a "Kumbaya moment" - perhaps a group hug at the nearest Gay Pride parade?
Remember, John Scopes was found guilty in the aforementioned trial. :mad:
 
"I feel pretty, Oh so pretty.
I feel pretty and witty and...
Um, moderately exuberant todaaayyy"

:rolleyes:
 
I guess in the abstinence only classes, the teachers can only teach the students to abstain from heterosexual activity. The children may get the idea it's only appropriate to have sex with other people of the same gender (until they marry). (!)

Republicans are such morons.

Amen on BOTH points! I do remember experimenting in high school with oral heterosexual behavior. (GAG!:eek:) Nothing like getting blown by someone who really knows how it is supposed to feel. Still, fatherhood eluded me, and I thank God for that.
Is there ANYBODY -redneck or not- here who is from TN that is NOT a bigot? Are there normal people there who have a brain not filled with prejudice, or "born-again" hatred of anyone unlike themselves? I mean, you only hear about the negative. Any gay bars in Nashville or Chattanooga? :confused:

I am from Tennessee, and I return to the Memphis area several times a year. Memphis is governed by African-Americans who apparently have little knowledge of gay people and no desire to learn. It has made none of the progress on LGBT issues that we have here in Fort Worth.

There are gay bars in Memphis, but it really feels like a time-warp to the 70s. Most of what I found were seedy pick-up bars and tiny drag venues (with astonishing drag queens--not in a good way). There is an MCC and one Baptist church that is open and accepting (no, really!). Theater there has broached the subject, but I don't know how recently.

The town my parents live in is governed mostly by Southern Baptists of the Fundamentalist variety. It would be pretty tough being gay in that town.

Nashville seems much more progressive, or at least it did the last time I visited there (which admittedly was more than twenty years ago). Still it has no anti-discrimination protections, and if Nashville doesn't, well, you can forget about Knoxville or Chattanooga.

When I was attending the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, it was like a little enclave of liberalism, and you really didn't have to have much contact with the prevailing society if you didn't want to.

In other words, I'm not surprised.
 
^^^ I fell in love with Knoxville passing through Tennessee. Everywhere else, including Memphis, was a dump.

What is amazing are the displays of bigotry or the classification of an entire group of people as backwards and ignorant because of the actions of a few.

It is amazing to use bigotry to complain about bigotry.

I lived in Memphis for a bit and it is amazingly backward in the social scene both hetro and gay. The best times were had in a huge home with all the amenities of a bar. Between me and my four neighbors in Cordova the streets looked like a mall parking lot most fridays and saturdays.

Believe me that is no excuse just the way the place is and for that matter the way a lot of the midwest is at this time. In TN they tried to pass an amzing amount of ignorant shit and most of it fails. Classifying an entire people based off trying to pass an ignorant bill makes you just as ignorant.

Living in Kansas currently and KC is suppose to be the plains mecca for gay men... WTF ever.

I am glad I have experienced both places and I will have fun here but I doubt I will live in these places when I retire or own a home.
 
Tennissee is a great place to camp. Its beautiful to visit.

It has low educational standards, generally ranks in the botom third of the nation in most ways, and has alot of bacward leaning ideology.

Thats just the way it is. Thats fine for the people that live there if thats the quality of life they want. For the beauty of the countryside I may even agree that its a fair trade.

But it is what it is, and it aint progress in any way.
 
I'm in TN. There are a few bars in Nashville. I don't go to the bars. For me it's like an hour's drive, if you drink the cops are after you, if you have sex with a guy, the cops are after you (unless you are safely locked up in your house). If you are walking and look drunk the cops are after you. It seems like all the gay men are hidden. They ARE there but for me it's difficult to meet them. BTW, I live in a small town close to the KY border.

There's plenty of decent people in TN, but so many proudly proclaim themselves to be rednecks and hillbillies. And they will be behind anything with Christian or Family Values in it.:mad: I'd prefer a gay wiccan.;)

As for this rediculous bill, teachers cannot use the gay word or broach the subject. What about the students? If a student uses the gay word or talks about being gay, the student would be arrested? In TN, I would believe it.

I read the article on George Takei. People had so many stupid comments afterwards. Maybe it is a bit of an ego to have his name to be the new gay word, but it also kinda cool. I saw him once at a Star Trek convention. In Nashville.
 
I also never claimed TN is the progressive forefront however calling every human being in the state a childish name is ignorant. It is self defeating to call yourself progressive and then act like a caveman.
