GOP Candidate Calls for Executing Those Assisting Trans Kids
Tennessee gubernatorial candidate Monty Fritts has proposed legislation that would impose the death penalty on individuals involved in providing gender-affirming care to minors, a stance aligned with right-wing misinformation. This proposed law would specifically target parents and medical professionals for offering what is considered best-practice medical care. This controversial position echoes previous actions by Fritts, including a recent law allowing religious officials to deny solemnizing marriages based on their beliefs, which critics argue is a thinly veiled attempt to discriminate. The marriage law has been criticized for potentially opening the door to legal challenges to marriage equality.
