“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.
Thanks Miss. N.C.
Daniel J Ahern that’s your opinion. That’s why our men, and women died for the freedom to choose. So if you don’t like God that’s your business. But as for me I serve him and I’m not saying anything negative because you don’t choose faith in a higher power.
if I was a man and felt I was woman i’d wait till i was really changed to woman with all the crazy moms and grandmas out there i run like hell. A I’m one of them crazy grandmas and i would not like you flipping your thing in front of any one this is where the hell will break loose locker rooms

Along time ago in New Orleans, I had a friend who was approached by a cross dresser, he wondered why he got his$#%&!@*beat to a pulp when my friend was so drunk they went off together. To each his own but don’t pretend to be something your not. Personally I don’t want to deal with urinals in the ladies room or someone pissing on the seat.
