Tennessee Bill Would Allow Counselors to Deny Mental Health Services to Gay Students

Would be allowed to cite religious reasons

A bill being considered in the Tennessee state legislature would allow graduate-student counselors to deny services to gay, lesbian and transgender students on religious grounds. The measure would also block a university's discretionary power to discipline student-therapists for failing to meet curriculum and program requirements.

If they can't perform the job as it is described, then they shouldn't be able to hold it. Go counsel in a christian college if you don't want to deal with gays.

This kind of legislation is no different than affirmative action and telling colleges how many of each race they need to accept
