“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.
My question is’ How can a state travel? The land mass of a state can’t just jump in a car or plane, train or bus and go some place. This sounds like something one of those idiot Govenors like Cuomo , Jerry Brown or Hickenstupid from Colorado would come up with. As for people, They can’t stop them from going anywhere. What have we suddenly regressed to, $#%&!@*Germany or the old Soviet Block?
The world is exploding and imploding simultaneously. Obama is burning America to the ground, to a point where we will be nothing more than smoke and ash and we are concentrating on the BS. We have become a pathetic country, to say the least.
Mississippi is GODS country
