In a statement, Human Rights Campaign President Kelley Robinson said Lee “isn’t just focused on anti-LGBTQ+ legislation — he’s obsessed with it. He’s infatuated with it.”
Robinson continued: “It’s why Tennessee has enacted more anti-LGBTQ+ laws than any other state since 2015, and why Gov. Lee last week became the very first governor in the country to sign a drag ban into law. Hypocrisy and discrimination run rich in the Tennessee of Gov. Lee — who himself formerly enjoyed dressing in drag but who is now working feverishly to prove otherwise.”
