“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.
I will travel on Mississippian roads!
I am with you Mississippi, from Idaho.
Go where I please.
Lol are we surprised that little dictatorship tards are popping up in states, banning travel to other states that are standing up to the scum sucking crosstards of America Obamination has been getting away with it for almost eight years, why not jump on the libtard wagon. I think anyone in these states should be seeing by now, the true nature of their intent.
I DON’T GIVE A DAMN WHO BANS TRAVEL ANYWHERE IN THE U.S., IF I WANT TO GO THERE, I WILL !!
You know that is a double edge sword. What if Mississippi decides to stop doing any business with any companies from the States that have announced that they have put a travel ban on Mississippi??? Food for thought!
Stupid statement.
P**s on those liberal states anyway. I’m sure Mississippi does not want them anyway. These liberal states are once again on the wrong side of history. So screw those armpits of America.
This isn’t russia, we can travel anywhere we wish.
The governors of these states need removed this is a free country they are communists and need removed from the country!
