30. AT&T was also one of the corps that lobbied in Tennessee and got a bill passed against gay peoples
civil rights. Nashville’s civil rights ordinance was killed by AT&T and 12 other companies all members of the Republicon Chamber of Commerce chaired by Nissan Corporation who initiated, supported and lobbied for the hateful bill signed into law today, by Gov.Has been. The city that will be affected by the bill, HB 600/SB 632, is Nashville, which bans discrimination on the basis of sexual identity or gender expression.

Now that this bigoted bill (sponsored by AT&T) has been signed into law, it is not illegal to discriminate against citizens on the basis of sexual identity or gender expression in the state of Tennessee, so this new law renders Nashville's ban void.

Just one more reason to despise the AT&T bigots, haters and frauds.
