          @chrisgeidner How does this square with Romer v Evans? Don't see 5 Sup Ct votes to uphold law.

          Here's the deal: Similar laws were passed in 2011 in TN and last year in AR; no challenge has been decided on the merits in either state.

          Romer involved a state constitutional amendment that specifically barred local "homosexual, lesbian or bisexual" protections.

          WOW, right?! That ban was passed by Colorado voters in 1992. In 1996, #SCOTUS said this was clearly motivated by animus and not allowed.

          The 2011 Tennessee law and the 2015 Arkansas law try to be cute about it, just saying locals can't go further than state protections ...

          ... which happen to have the effect of barring LGBT protections, which don't exist in either of those states at the state level.

          But, the other sections (my 1, 2, & 5 #'d tweets above—containing the "biological sex" language) could be at risk of Romer-type challenge.
