SNN Recommends 9/23/09-Tennessee Equality Project

Tennessee Equality Project is an organization of individuals united in their collective efforts to ensure equality for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Tennessseans.

Our ability to affect real equality in Tennessee is heavily dependent on our membership. To be a powerful force for equality, TEP's membership must be as diverse and representative as are the people of Tennessee.

TEP welcomes people of all sexual orientations, gender identities, races, religions, ethnicities, socioeconomic backgrounds, and from all corners of the state.

TEP scored a victory in their advocacy for equality in the state on September 15:

By a vote of 24 to 15, the Metropolitan Council of Nashville and Davidson County has passed the non-discrimination ordinance that will now protect Metro government employees from discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
