The important thing is that 100 out of thousands of clerics opposed the bills. It doesn't matter if the legislature passes the bills anyway.

...which proves that intolerance is simply a human condition and does not require religion.

does not. It's good that a group of clergy people oppose them. They join with thousands of others, both religious and non-religious, in that opposition, and that's a good thing, to be sure.

However, the fact that some opponents are from the clergy has nothing to do with the success or failure of those discriminatory bills. Far more from every group of people support the bills, in a state that is overwhelmingly red.

It's nice that a small group of clergy are in opposition and that they are publicly stating their opposition. LGBTQ people in Tennessee, in far larger numbers oppose the bills as well. No doubt some of them are atheists or do not participate in religion. Tennessee has a minority of humanists among its population. They oppose the bills, as well.

Sadly, far more are encouraging such legislation to be enacted, and the good intentions of those who are in opposition to them are very likely to be overwhelmed. Some of the bills may well violate federal constitutional principles, and could be vulnerable to being overturned by federal courts. Supporting legal action against such bills will have far more impact than simply stating opposition.

This is not just a religious issue, even though a majority of evangelical and fundamentalist Christian clergy and congregations are in support of such discrimination. It is, undeniably, a human issue, which affects the religion and non-religious among LGBTQ people and supporters of human rights. Religion is not particularly relevant here, although it is good to see some Christian clergy voicing their opposition.

in favor of this hateful legislation in Tennessee, than there were opposed to it.

Aren't they the ones responsible for this? Aren't they the ones who quote the Bible as the reason for this hate?

Over 100 publicly oppose this Tennessee legislation. That group joins many others in opposition, and that's a good thing. Why more do not join in this, I do not know. I do not live in Tennessee, so I have no reliable way to gauge the opinions of the religious in that state. I do know that many Christian right preachers rail against LGBTQ people from their pulpits, in Tennessee and elsewhere. Religious belief, in general, seems to have little relevance to opinions about those issues.

For example, the Roman Catholic Church in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota, where I live, spent millions of dollars fighting the passage of same-sex marriage laws here, while at the same time fighting against revealing information about Minnesota priests who had sexually abused children. Clearly, religion, in itself, is no guarantee of proper moral and ethical behavior.

only way to make them wake up. Hit the whole damn State in the pocket book.
