Vote NO on HB239 and HB878 in Civil Justice on March 1

Dear [title] [last name],

Please, vote NO on HB239 and HB878 on March 1 in the Civil Justice Committee.
HB239: What problem is the bill trying to solve? It will make life more difficult for transgender people in areas like nondiscrimination law and obtaining identity documents.
By compromising a transgender person's identity documents, this bill will make seeking employment and housing more difficult. It could entangle Tennessee in “full faith and credit” challenges if we do not properly recognize official documents like handgun permits and birth certificates or a driver's license from other states that do not have the same interpretation of the word "sex."
HB878: Clergy can already refuse to solemnize the marriage of any couple. Those public officials in Tennessee who can solemnize marriages should not turn people away based on their beliefs.
This bill opens the door to public officials refusing to solemnize the marriages of couples of different racial and ethnic backgrounds, couples of different religions or of no religious beliefs, couples based on prior marital status, and same-sex couples. 
Thank you for considering my views.
