Nation s Most Brazenly Hateful Anti-LGBTQ+ Law Blocked by Judge July 09 2021 7:02 PM EDT
One of the nation s most insidious anti-LGBTQ+ laws, which required that Tennessee businesses post signs warning the public that they allow trans patrons to use their facilities, was blocked by a federal judge Friday.
Republican Gov. Bill Lee signed House Bill 1182 into law in May, which required any “building or facility open to the general public” that allows trans access to post a sign with this language: “This facility has a policy of allowing the use of restrooms by either biological sex, regardless of the designation on the restroom.” It applies to locker rooms, showers, and dressing rooms as well, and went into effect July 1.

December 18, 2020 On Wednesday, in the Middle District of Tennessee, Judge Aleta A. Trauger ruled that ex-Congressman Jeremy Durham of the Tennessee House of Representatives possessed a “statutorily created entitlement to life-time health insurance for retired civil servants,” but that said entitlement was validly removed, following Durham’s expulsion from Tennesee House, as Durham argued for procedural due process requirements for the wrong purported property interest.
The associated opinion explained that Durham was voted out of the state legislature following the release of an Attorney General’s report concluding that “Durham had engaged in sexually inappropriate conduct with at least 22 women between 2012 and 2016.” Durham, who had already served a full congressional term from 2012-14, was expelled four months prior to the completion of his second term following a House vote.
