Caitlin has not yet figured out what goes on at her father's "Elk Lodge" meetings...

Seriously, the state legislature of Tennessee only made sodomy legal in 1996, so this county isn't THAT out of line with a lot of other people in the state. And even if they did pass the amendment, it wouldn't matter because all laws of that nature have already been ruled to be unconstitutional, Lawrence v. Texas.

So such an amendment would be nothing but... lip service.
