I was inspired to write this because for several years gay marriage was a patchwork of rights. You could get married in one place but not the other. Being married in one state didn’t mean you could get divorced where you lived.

#Tennessee has passed a state law which effectively guts the #MarriageEqualityAct.
This is being sold to voters as a way to not force #CountyClerks & other officials to obey the law of the land, and allow them to practice their misguided beliefs. The problem is, #marriages CANNOT be legal without the signature of these officials.
It will also allow officials to discriminate against #InterracialMarriages and #InterfaithMarriages.
Their firm knowledge that the current #Conservative #SCOTUS bench will almost certainly refuse to uphold the #Constitution and existing laws, in favor of their own #bigoted ideology, is really emboldening the #KKK and other #GOP voters there.

The 2021 census figures show a decline in the number identifying as Christian and an increase of ‘no religion’.
Here’s my initial thoughts on the results and why it should be a wake up call for policy makers and commentators:
