Nashville DA won't enforce 'hate' bill requiring businesses to post signs for transgender bathroom access
Mariah Timms, Nashville Tennessean
Nashville's top prosecutor will stand against the state legislature and refuse to enforce what he calls "hate" under a new Tennessee law on bathroom access for transgender people.
Gov. Bill Lee last week signed a bill making Tennessee the first state to require businesses and government facilities open to the public to post a sign if they let transgender people use multiperson bathrooms, locker rooms or changing rooms associated with their gender identity.
Opponents of the law call the bill discriminatory. LGBTQ advocacy group the Human Rights Campaign said the signs would be "offensive and humiliating."
