“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.
they cant ban travel..lol some more kind of stupid government c**p
MissisSHITti … so glad I got out of that decrepit hell-hole of a state.
Reactionary stupidity at its finest!!!

Hopefully the citizens would cancel and refrain from going to those states as well.
I’m curious….. who the Hell is going to stand on the state line and check ID’s for Addresses of these states.. They have NO jurisdiction and what gives them the right to stop anyone from traveling to anywhere the want to… The ARROGANCE of State Governments… I suppose they could DEPORT them if they ever found out… RIGHT !!!!!!!!!! HAHA
That would make me go even if I didn’t want to.
I do not support the restroom thing at all and the fact that it’s even a topic in 2016 a
I will visit Mississippi, and North Carolina, where no sex perverts will be allow to molest children in bathrooms
How do these imbeciles plan to enforce this. They have no authority to ban travel.
