“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.
Crazy stuff happening because of Obama and the United Nations wants to depopulate the world this all the Mexicans coming here will all be eliminated because the poor take more then their share of government money! They must be eliminated for climate change must be stopped so the rich have a better safer life! Wake up America!
Hopefully everyone doesn’t work for the government sounds like Mississippi would be a great place to live.
There’s laws in place that prevent any public serving business owner to discriminate on any basis. What Mississippi did is legalize discrimination.
I stand fully behind my state of Mississippi. I am proud that our state does not cower down to the politically correct and the gay mafia. If you don’t like the way I express myself then you can kiss my ass
Still bad enough , red states should ban the west coast, less we get lucky and it falls in the ocean
Um this is obviously protecting religious discrimination. I can understand people not being ready to share bathrooms but really? “I won’t do my job because I believe you should live your life how I demand it” is childish and more “communistic” than states banning travel of political business is. America, where you can only have rights if you’re a person of faith and live life like the micromanaging dictator creep of a neighbor tells you too.
Oh, i forgot, each state is no issuing state travel passports and will b checking each pet son’s passports to approve or deny entrance to Mississippi and North Carolina! Wow, who do they they are? How on east th are they going to deny travel access to these states? access
If I didn’t love Arizona, I would consider living, in Mississippi. Koodoos for the latest legislation.
I don’t think anybody can ban anyone from traveling to miss.or n.c.or any where else for that matter but if you are that stupid then well then maybe u all need to stay the hell out because we sure as hell don’t need your kind down here where we southerns know what’s right and wrong. And the love for our love ones
I’ll go any where I dam please.
