The evidence suggests that the minds of many of our lawmakers remain trapped in the 1950's. Look for them to start coming after communists once they've taken care of the "homosexuals," a term they use to describe all but the exclusively heterosexual.
Social science has long established that many self-identified heterosexuals engage in sex with same-sex partners. Sexual behavior and sexual identity are not the same thing, but who would expect TN legislators to be familiar with social science? These are the same yahoos who consider sex education to be X-rated for gawd's sake.
It's like the old "one drop of black blood" rule that defined even pale white people as black as long as their family history included even one distant black relative. If the adoption/foster parenting proposals become law, the question will be: Are you a homosexual, or have you ever engaged in homosexual behavior?
For TN lawmakers, if you are bi-sexual, or if you have ever engaged in homosexual behavior, you are a (gasp) "homosexual." Call it the "one drop of gay blood" rule.

”Notwithstanding anything in this part to the contrary, no person may serve as afoster parent if that person is a homosexual or if an adult member of that person’shousehold is a homosexual. As used in this section, “homosexual” means any person who voluntarily and knowingly engages in or submits to any sexual contact involving another person of the same gender.”
Translation: the "one drop of gay blood" rule extends to all adult persons in your household. For some unknown reason, legislators will not punish you if you happen to have a LGBT teen in the home, or a heterosexual teen who sometimes has sex with same-sex partners.
But if you have a LGBT senior (one out of every 10 LGBT persons is a senior) in your household, your household is blacklisted, er "homosexuallisted."
