“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.
We don’t need this kind of stupid people in MS anyway!
b******t, i just came through there, quit fabricatin$#%&!@*to instigate more s**t
IF THIS IS HOW YOU KEEP LIBERALS OUT OF YOUR STATE WE NEED TO PASS THIS LEGISLATION IN EVERY STATE!!!!
Up yours. The people of this state has more sense than all of Washington. Keep your transgender(?????),PEOPLE up north where they belong . Not down South, we believe in Bible and Gods words.
its that against the law, to dictate where people can travel on their own damn time ???
Mississippi and North Carolina seems to be trying to interject some sanity into an American society gone crazy. Good for them!
In AL heading for MS. Next stop LA.
Apparently the three states must be ran by liberals, because here in America, we are free to travel to whatever state, and where ever we want. Just because they think they are a king like Obama thinks he is, don’t make it true. I go where I want post what I want.
#1, they can’t ban domestic travel period. End of story
Those three liberal states support men being allowed in womens restrooms. Liberal states just check out how they vote. Mississippi must be very happy today.
