Tennessee law

A new Tennessee law makes it a crime to post an image online that might "frighten, intimidate or cause emotional distress" to someone.

In a related story, hundreds of Tennessee residents are reporting being frightened and intimidated by images depicting gay people, birth control or evolution.


A conservative senator read out a statement in the senate chamber today condemning the actions of page Brigitte DePape, who disrupted the Throne Speech in Parliament Friday.

The page's actions went against everything the senate stands for: not only did she take action in some way, but she was also known to habitually show up for work.
