“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 hope all southern states will ban together in these issues. There’s nothing wrong with trying to prevent harm to women and children by ill willed individuals.
The south is un safe for Blacks. Look what happened to Sandra Bland it’s Hell
Those 3 governors are laughable…banning American citizens from traveling where they please in these 50 states.
Just how do the idiot Governors of those states intend to enforce their edicts!
What fools! They act like little kids throwing a tantrum because they can’t have their way!
Looks like a good, decent, safe state to travel to……
Good don’t come
these states have lost there minds you cant tell the people where they can go or not go
If I’m a city employee, how will my boss decide if my travel to Mississippi is “non-essential” and what’s he gonna do if I fund my own trip over there?
Regressive much?
More Libtard s**t
I LOVE MISSISSIPPI A PLACE WERE LGBT CAN NOT HAVE A BALL!
