MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A nationally known powerhouse in supporting the LGBTQ+ community is in Memphis this weekend, following the recent passage of several new state laws targeting community members in Tennessee. Saturday in downtown Memphis, the Victory Institute held a day-long interactive leadership development training for LGBTQ+ leaders, advocates, activists, and students from Tennessee. Victory institute's Executive Director Elliot Imse says more than 20 anti-LGBTQ+ pieces of legislation have been introduced in the Tennessee legislature, with many more introduced by city councils and school boards.
