“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.
Let’s go! This is the silliest non issue….
What country do we live in when pompous tyrants think they can dictate to others where they can go?
Looks like secession is close.
Mississippi is doing something right
This is ok, but for the christian baker it is discrimination? I don’ understand the difference? Maybe if I was a liberal it would make sense!
Very well said!!!!
Well that is tough I will go where I wish to go , Shame On you that up hold such stupidy
Members of our government is on a mission to destroy our country and we keep voting them in office. Governor of new York did same thing because he said he didn’t want new Yorkers traveling to states that doesn’t have high cap mag ban to keep them safe. Welcome to a socialist communist society its it only going to get worse. It’s been said America would fall without a shot ever being fired. I just never thought it be from our own government.
You can’t tell us where to go,
Well I guess there will less trash in Mississippi now! I guess people really do not read any more nor do they look at anything in the news. They are programmed liberals who believe that CNN, MSNBC and the main stream media outlets are telling them the truth. I wonder how many of these bleeding hearts would like some man in the bathroom with their little girls.Just like the Civil Rights movement, it was all well and good for others to integrate but the worst riots about the integration movement were in the northeast, in other words we want you to change but not us! We will see what happens when the people have had enough of this liberal, perverted c**p!
