“Thou shalt not travel to Mississippi” demand the governors of Washington, New York, and Vermont. Mississippi’s new legislation is believed to be mean spirited and discriminatory and thus these governors feel it is in their power to limit travel of their own citizenry.
Reminiscent of the big brother behavior of the Mayor of San Fransisco, who made similar demands of city employees banning travel to North Carolina, these governors are overstepping their authority.
The mayoral panties are all twisted up because North Carolina has passed legislation preventing anti-discrimination protection for lesbian, gay and transgender people thus nullifying a Charlotte ordinance that allowed for transgender bathroom use of the opposite gender.
City workers were banned by the Lee from “non-essential” travel to North Carolina, Truth and Action reports.
The Mississippi legislation is viewed as discriminatory against the LGBT community, yet in actuality it protects all citizens of Mississippi from government over reach by protecting “sincerely held religious beliefs and moral convictions of individuals, organizations and private associations.”
Citizens of Mississippi who hold religious convictions are given the freedom to exercise their faith without repudiation. Under this legislation, people of faith will be protected if they deny wedding services to same-sex couples. It also allows employers to take their religious beliefs to inform such work place values such as dress code and bathroom or locker access.
The legislation does not remove civil rights from any one group, but strengthens the First Amendment for all.
Everyone head to Mississippi and North Carolina!
More libtard bull$#%&!@* About as meaningless as Woopi moving if Trump is President.
TRUMP COMMANDER IN CHEIF. !
Liberals already believe they are dictators
I’m going there
I think what people are concerned about is to wind up in jail, beaten or murdered with no rights if they happen to be lgbt and visit these anti lgbt states. Anyone with half a brain would stay away if their lives were in danger.
Now for states to boycott these states well its their right just as its in the other states rights to implement their laws.
Just be careful y’all traveling.
Tim Slagle what you said to Clayton Raymond Marchman is ridiculous. But the 2nd paragraph is how it should be.
How does a politician “ban” people from traveling someplace. Are there roadblocks with armed Nazis?
Hahaha…Pretty sure people in Mississippi couldn’t care!
Who cares we the people say no perverts get over it dont like it move.
Do they also ban the Muslims and illegals from entering? Then, I would agree – this is a good plan!
