“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.
Good for Mississippi….
Hats off & 3 cheers for Miss & NC for standing up to the LGBT community! Don’t let the muslim ovomit & his ungodly administration tell you what you can & cannot do !
No one is more intolerant and unaccepting of differences than people who claim to support equality and diversity.
so basically in mississippi the CHURCH runs the government. which is NOT how our founding fathers wanted things to be ran.
Libtards
I’ll travel where I want, this isn’t North Korea….yet.
My home state of NY is on the list. Andrew Cuomo is a tremendous douche. He didn’t even think about those of us within the state that may support MS, NC, and others recent laws and wish out Liberal$#%&!@*law makers would pass similar laws to protect us. States should not be trying to strong arm other states into changing their laws.
Sounds like a win for ole Miss
Planning my summer vacation. North Carolina then on to Mississippi but will detour around Georgia.
I guess that want Mississippi to bend over , watch out for the girly man
