GOP lawmaker introduces bills he hopes will overturn marriage & antidiscrimination rights - LGBTQ Nation

As the Nashville Banner reports, state Rep. Gino Bulso (R) filed three anti-LGBTQ+ bills this week, two of which challenge the Supreme Court's decisions establishing the rights of same-sex couples to legally marry and that Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act protects U.S. employees from discrimination based on their sexual orientation or gender identity. Bulso went so far as to title his House Bill 1472 the "Banning Bostock Act." The bill, according to the Banner, would explicitly exclude sexual orientation and gender identity from Tennessee's definition of sex-based discrimination, in defiance of the Supreme Court's 2020 decision.
