A new bill aiming to ban Pride flags from public schools will be debated during the upcoming session of the 113th Tennessee General Assembly, sparking concerns among some LGBTQ students and allied community members.

As introduced, House Bill 1605, sponsored by District 61 Rep. Gino Bulso (R-Brentwood), would ban the display of any flags other than those of the United States and the state of Tennessee from public schools and public charter schools.
