Tennessee Lawmaker Seeks to Challenge Supreme Court Decisions With Anti-LGBT Bills

The U.S. Supreme Court recently declined to revisit marriage equality — but that hasn't stopped anti-LGBTQ extremists. They're trying, once again, to challenge long-settled law and roll back the freedoms our community fought so hard to win.

In Tennessee, State Rep. Gino Bulso is once again leading the charge. He’s introduced extreme legislation aimed at undermining marriage equality and banning Pride flags — a clear signal that opponents of equality are testing how far they can go, and how many rights they can strip away.

This moment demands strong, prepared leadership. LGBTQ+ elected officials — especially those serving in hostile political environments — are on the front lines defending marriage equality, protecting their communities, and stopping these attacks before they gain traction. But they can’t do it alone.

That’s why LGBTQ+ Victory Institute is doubling down on training and supporting LGBTQ+ elected officials in places like Tennessee and across the country. When extremists don’t have the votes, their attacks fail. And the best way to stop these bigots is to ensure equality champions are equipped, connected, and ready to lead.

Our training programs help LGBTQ+ elected officials navigate hostile legislatures, counter disinformation, and stand firm in defense of marriage equality and democratic values. The stakes couldn’t be higher — and the opposition is counting on us to lose momentum.

Contribute today to help Victory Institute continue training and supporting LGBTQ+ elected officials who are defending marriage equality and stopping anti-LGBTQ legislation before it spreads!

Together, we can ensure that hate-filled legislation doesn’t win — in Tennessee or anywhere else.

Thanks for taking the time,
