The Tennessee and Colorado legislatures have passed bills that would have vastly different impacts on LGBTQ+ foster children. The Republican supermajority in Tennessee passed a measure that would allow children to be placed with families that hold anti-LGBTQ+ beliefs.
FILE - Visitors stand on the west steps of the Colorado Capitol, April 23, 2023, in Denver. Children in foster care who are LGBTQ+ in Colorado and Tennessee could have vastly different experiences in where they get placed under opposing legislation advanced by state legislatures this week. DENVER — LGBTQ+ children in foster care in Tennessee and Colorado could have vastly different experiences in where they are placed under opposing legislation advanced by state legislatures this week.
Sen. Rachel Zenzinger, one of the bill’s sponsors, gave an impassioned defense during final debate Thursday, noting that she had foster siblings and a transgender child. “This bill restricts those parents from being able to give them the guidance that perhaps they need the most, and for the sake of something that may not be in the child’s interest,” Republican Sen. Mark Baisley said on the Senate floor.
Tennessee Democrats and LGBTQ+ advocates warn that even with the state agency having the ability to weigh religious and moral beliefs, there’s is still an opportunity for children in state custody to be placed in with caregivers who don’t support or accept their gender or sexual identities.
