“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.
Great for harvesting votes from the lunatic left. No cure for stupidity !
Ruth Wren you’re just pathetic butt hurt liberal that can’t have her way! Stay away from my home, Mississippi.
Good live where your wanted and agree with the state. Your loss is our gain. There’s no walls at state lines.
Good no dummies here then!!!
Mississippi Rocks!!
they can’t stop people from going there.
Rock On Mississippi
Nobody is taking privilege from me.
Thanks Kim! If the lgbt are refused in one place, go to another, there is more than one place so you don’t have to sue them just because they are offended. That’s what our governor signed. People with a business and refuse to serve them have rights and don’t have to worry about losing their business. Like my husband’s business, his signs have a cross on them. Some of his customers told him they wanted one without the cross. He told them that is the design, like it or not, he wasn’t changing it. Doesn’t bother him one way or the other but he is not changing just because someone is offended.
So now our Communist New World Order Governors are going to tell the sheeple where and where not they can go ? I go far away from crazy Liberals.
