Anti-LGBTQ Tennessee Rethuglican State legislator Bill Sanderson resigned yesterday after explicit photographs of him along with explicit texts soliciting sex from much younger men were found on Grindr. His website touts him as a "conservative fighter," who is "pro-life and pro-family," fighting to "preserve the values that have defined our families for generations." The married Sanderson has a record of opposition to LGBTQ policies:
"Sanderson has voted against LGBTQ policies at the state level during his term in the statehouse. The state passed a bill preventing cities from adopting anti-LGBTQ discrimination ordinances. He also denounced the Supreme Court after they ruled that same-sex marriage bans were unconstitutional."Sanderson owns a winery, where he's alleged to have made unwelcome advances a 19 year-old University of Tennessee man during a visit there several years ago. He's got a lot of 'splainin' to do to his "pro-family" (second) wife.
Sanderson embodies the true "values" of the rotted-out Rethuglican party, which places lying, power at any price, and greed above the values they pretend to have. While living a lie, they punish those that have chosen to be true to themselves.
