Tennessee has enacted several other laws targeting LGBTQ+ individuals in this legislative session, including a measure permitting foster parents with anti-LGBTQ+ beliefs to care for LGBTQ+ children if they claim their religion is the reason for their homophobia or transphobia, and a bill prohibiting non-parental adults from taking transgender kids out of state for gender-affirming care, based on the false belief that teachers and other adults are influencing kids to become transgender. pronouns Parents now have the right to know if their child is using different bathrooms at school but do not have the right to know if their child's teachers are carrying firearms.

Advocates are concerned that LGBTQ+ foster children could be compelled to undergo conversion therapy.
