“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.
That’s a little off the deep end people shouldn’t post that$#%&!@*when our country is in the shape it’s in. Hell nobody tells me where or when I can go Lmao . Wake up America.
Good for Mississippi.
Telling someone not to do it makes them wanna do it whos up for a road trip
I live in Mississippi. My daughter and granddaughter lives in New York. There is no way anyone can stop us from seeing each other. If they choose to travel to Mississippi that’s none of your business. Some people can’t speak for all the people in Mississippi. Another thing you need to polish up on your bible before you quote from it.We don’t discriminate. It’s something that people seem to think of the South.
LIBERAL INSANITY!
those ppl are insane totally insane
Just curious, who the hell has a right to ban such a thing ? They don’t and they can’t.
I’ll go any where and when I want
CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT.
Pretty sure they just mean travel for legal business, it’s illegal to prevent people from free travel (cuba). But it’s also illegal to make discriminatory laws but hey, if it doesn’t coincide with personal beliefs screw some strangers rights because their gay marriage affects me right?
