Here's your guide to what happened to the bills pro-LGBT advocates called a 'slate of hate'

The Tennessean

The Tennessee General Assembly took up several bills this session that pro-LGBTQ activists branded a "slate of hate," condemning the various pieces of legislation for being discriminatory.

Dozens of businesses spoke out against the bills, including major companies like Amazon, Ikea, Nike, Marriott, Lyft, Hilton, Warner Music Group and AllianceBernstein, along with the Tennessee Titans, Nashville Predators and Nashville SC.

Republican leaders in the legislature took different stances on the legislation, with House Speaker Glen Casada saying he was unconcerned about threats of businesses avoiding the state and that companies should stay out of politics.

In the Senate, however, Lt. Gov. Randy McNally was reluctant to push several of the bills, explaining that the state needed to be sensitive to the business implications of the various bills.

His concerns carried weight. In the final days of session, the Senate deferred action on multiple bills criticized by the LGBT community.

Here's an update on where the bills all stand.
