The Tennessee Transgender Political Coalition (TTPC) is pleased that the Knoxville City Council passed the proposed non discrimination ordinance unanimously. We appreciate all of you who stepped up by contacting your Council members and urging them to ban discrimination in City Government against transgender, lesbian, gay, and bisexual employees. We especially wish to express our gratitude to the Mayor, Madeleine Rogero, for her inspired leadership on this issue. Knoxville now joins a list of approximately 200 cities around the country, including Metro Nashville, that have banned such discrimination. Tracked 120 bills and was active lobbying on a number of issues.
