Tennessee Republicans vote to allow clerks to refuse marriage licenses to LGBTQ+ couples and interracial couples

[NaijaProdigy Redux]

All these Republicans are in the closet. It’s like a scene out of The Handmaid’s Tale

 

[Voice of Reason]

Shout outs to the people who kept denying these issues were tied together: take the L. When the goal is to dismantle civil rights protections the end result is banning interracial marriage, and the next step will be allowing business owners to refuse to serve black people.

The right wing strategy is to fracture the Black male vote.

They want Black men to agree with Right wing strategy of stopping fakkits.


That way enough Black men will either sit out or vote Republican

Tennessee GOP-Led House Passes Bill Letting County Clerks Refuse Marriage Licenses to LGBTQ Couples

The bill is a direct challenge to federal marriage equality protections.

truthout.org

Basically bill is designed to where it seems to be targeting LGBTQ+, but gives freedom to deny anyone. What you think Billy Bob gonna do when a black and white couple walks in?



I keep telling y'all these anti-LGBTQ pushes are republicans phase 1 and we're literally next. Anti-LGBTQ shyt on Monday will be anti-black shyt on Wednesday. Y'all need to get over what people do in the privacy of their bedrooms, shyt isnt a game

It was always thinly vailed to attack black and brown folk.. they use gay rights to attack civil rights

Nikka LGBTQ+ is my enemy.


We serve GOD over here.

Aren't you a dumb Pan-Africanist?


The GOP is trying to bait Black men into voting by using gay issues are a wedge

What is a true interracial marriage?

What if one person looks like Jordan Peele (but half-white)?

I'm exactly what my signature says.

This forum will probably like this bill.

I don't know if they will or won't, but that article is about gay couples not interracial straight couples.

Most of TLR is Republicans and will agree with this

Personally I don't understand why and black person would want to cape for obvious white supremacists but it is what it is.

I have no problem with anti-lgbt shyt, mostly trans. I do have a problem with them coming for us.

This is breathtakingly stupid.

Isn’t it weird how often this forum’s politics aligns with white supremacists in the GOP?

they know this and capitalize on it by making it a wedge issue. by the time people realize they're next, it'll be too late since precedence has been set.

Sadly this is the crux. Whether we like it or not, you cannot support discrimination of any kind because the ultimate goal is to bring back Jim Crow.
