WHAT???? There was chaos in Nashville? Where? We have been here for a week now, and everything looks totally normal.
People spending money everywhere, music everywhere - day and night. Seems like the same Nashville we have enjoyed for years.
BTW, you and Maisie are right about people migrating TO Nashville. Just talk to any of the musicians, and we do, most of them are NOT from Nashville.
They come with hopes and dreams, and work jobs to support themselves as they follow those dreams, and play music anywhere and everywhere they can. The singer who was in the hotel lounge Saturday night, was singing at the McDonalds next door on Friday.
EVERY city and town has its own unique set of problems..... no big news about that.
But, there has to be extreme headlines for some folks, huh?


Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

I can not believe this was actually passed as a law. It really is a redundant, unnecessary and attention seeking and fear mongering since therapists already refer clients they feel they can't work with for whatever reason to another therapists. Same with medical doctors. It's a basic tenant of the code of ethics of both professions. Coming from my professional background I can not see how anyone could become a therapist and be homophobic in any way for any reason. Although I know nothing about licensing regulations for therapist in your state so perhaps they are less stringent than they are in the rest of the country.

Further, what client of any persuasion would want to see a therapist who had any problems dealing with them in any way? The only scenario I can think of is that if an individual is having difficulty dealing with their sexuality conflicting with their religion and was trying to reconcile in favor of religion or if they (and I am being serious here) already felt they needed to be "cured" of their perceived deviations so they could satisfy their religious beliefs. Even in that scenario I would think the religious therapist would be thrilled for the opportunity to "save" someone.

PS My Master's thesis was on the minister's role as a therapists and their professional qualifications. My findings were that often ministers and clergy deal with extremely critical psychological issues and have little or no professional qualifications. Working through a church no secular credential are required to "counsel" anyone. If nothing else this should discourage anyone from seeking clergy's help for issues that go beyond religious matters.
