“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.

Some of these comments are just unreal. It’s true, going back to MS is like turning your clock back to the dark ages. No wonder you are and always will be the “poorest” state in the country. What’s next, the crusades comeback? You’ve played right into your loving govt’s hands. You condemn me cause I’m not into$#%&!@*and$#%&!@* but I’m laughing at you. Your precious boy Obama is bringing radical child rapists into our country. Your govt condemned the confederate flag, then with the help of dirty cops got the whole BLM hate group started in Ferguson. Anyone who can’t see that they’re provoking an all out race war is drinking waaay too much tap water. Pffft, why bother? Glad some of you get it. All you ‘do right’ religious freaks are in here spewing nothing but hate hate hate. The gay guy isn’t gonna rape your children. The gay guy isn’t gonna chant, “hands up, don’t shoot” like a bunch of morons. Most gays have NO desire to use the ladies room. I got news for you. Check your local sex offenders list. Your mocking the wrong groups. It’s those elitist yes boys in the oval office that are always busted with kiddy porn and such. I’ll let you get back to dancing with the flippin’ stars, Hee-Haw, or what ever it is you primitives watch these days. Backwards$#%&!@*state…
