A bill that would prohibit the discussion of gay or bisexual matters in any publicor elementary school has been sent by the Tennessee House of Representatives K-12Subcommittee to the State Board of Education for study, with a report due back fromthem by March 15, 2010.The move postpones for another year the attempt by Tennessee State Sen. Dewayne
Bunch (R-Cleveland) and Rep. Stacey Campeld (R-Knoxville) to have the legislationpassed this session, unless the state nishes its report before the session is over. It
failed last year in committee.
"It was a good outcome," said Tennessee Equality Project President ChristopherSanders. However he also cautioned that the bill "remained alive and that Campled
could bring it back for an up or down vote."Sanders said the subcommittee had "less than 10 minutes" of discussion about the
bill before sending it to the State Board of Education for study. "It helped that people
took the time to call and e-mail their representatives about this bill," he said. "Thatmade all the difference in the world."
