“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.
No way in hell will the governor of any state tell me where I can go od where I can’t
Right! But liberals in OUR capitol have ruined it. Google Kenneth stokes… The thug counselman that keeps encouraging “the black leaders” to throw rocks bricks and bottles at police officers that Chase suspects through Jackson, Ms. When people claim we are the most dangerous and most racist state, they are right. Only in Ms can a black man walk up and call us white devils andcrackers to our face and threaten is with death and walk away but if you call a black person a racial slur then you’re inciting violence and can be jailed. Meanwhile… Drive through our capitol and you can expect to encounter some form of violent offense weather it’s attempted robbery.. Getting shot at or getting assaulted. The ban on travel is probably the best thing that happened to those considering coming here … Its in their best interest for their own well being.
What kind of headline is this? Who can ban what travel if this is the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA? I admire the men and women who know how to stand for what is right and descent in America. The rest are playing into Satan’s hand.
F**K new york washington and vermont and the trams whatevers they rode in on. PERIOD !!!
What? It’s America and we are free. Give me a break.
