If you've ever thought you'd like to make a difference in the world, this is your chance. Can you imagine how the Tennessee history books will look a few years after Nov. 2006 if we defeat this initiative? Or even if we don't this time, we will have laid groundwork for when we DO make the history books. We will have laid groundwork for other things besides marriage equality. We have workplace equality to tackle, as well as adoption rights and hate crimes. This ballot initiative is giving us our first huge reason to come together as Tennesseans and fight the good fight together so we can see equality in our lifetime.
TEP is proud to have contributed to the failure of the discriminatory adoption legislation that surfaced early in 2005 that would have banned gay and lesbian Tennesseans from adopting. But, we know this issue will resurface in the legislature again this year. And we know we will have to work hard to defeat it a second time.
