A City in Tennessee Banned Public Homosexuality—and We All Missed It

Murfreesboro, Tennessee, is already beginning to implement the law.

A city in Tennessee is using a recently passed ordinance essentially prohibiting homosexuality in public to try to ban library books that might violate the new rules.

Murfreesboro passed an ordinance in June banning “indecent behavior,” including “indecent exposure, public indecency, lewd behavior, nudity or sexual conduct.” As journalist Erin Reed first reported, this ordinance specifically mentions Section 21-72 of the city code. The city code states that sexual conduct includes homosexuality.

Anyone who violates the new ordinance is barred from hosting public events or selling goods and services at public events for two years. Anyone who violates the ordinance “in the presence of minors” is barred for five years.

An ACLU-backed challenge to the ordinance has already been launched, but that hasn’t stopped...

This voter suppression tactic should be investigated.

At least 9 precincts in majority-Black Mississippi county ran out of ballots, per reports https://thegrio.com/2023/11/08/at-least-9-precincts-in-majority-black-mississippi-county-ran-out-of-ballots-per-reports/

“Hunter Biden” is just a noise Republicans make when they are desperate to change the subject.

Whenever you hear it, you should figure out what topic they are trying to avoid, and relentlessly drive the conversation back to whatever that is. It is a sign of weakness and should be treated as such.
