“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.
Duh…….do you honestly believe we care!!!!
MISSISSIPPI IS HAPPY TO REPORT THE BANS ARE A GOOD THING, WHO WANTS A LOT OF IDIOTIC LIBERALS RUNNING AROUND IN THEIR STATE ANYWAY.
Duh. Do those liberal idiots really think we care. We are perfectly happy with our iced tea and fried chicken. And, most importantly, our Christian faith.
Article one, section eight, clause three. Also recognized as The Commerce Clause. It says the authority to do that cannot be exercised and does not exist. Once a citizen is outside the state, state laws don’t apply anyway – if you live in a dry state, you can cross into another state and buy a six pack. I wonder what the proposed penalty would be?
San Francisco, Washington, New York,And Vermont Can Go To Hell…..
To the governors of Washington, New York, and Vermont and any other idiot jackass governors, forbid us to go to Mississippi, WHEN DID ANY OF YOU STUPID IDIOT governors BECOME KING? Soon your states are going to be populated only by undesirables like pedophiles, necrophiliacs, killers, robbers, rapists, blm idiots, terrorists, lgbt ers and any other goof balls no one else will end up living in your states, so good luck we in other states thank you for taking the dregs of the nation into your home states. And don’t be offended by the 20 foot tall concrete wall topped by razor wire and machine gun turrets every hundred yards, it’s for your own protection because we know you will not like any normal people to intermingle with the stuff that is in yo0ur state.
Lol
How can they ban someone from their state from going to Mississippi. Smart Mississippi! Keep up the good work.
The ban only concerns the state (and city?) gov’t functions. I would imagine employees of state govt can still make a vacation there. What I fail to comprehend is how and why those govt functions even have a need to travel out of state to begin with? It’s not like they are the president who trots all over the globe paying visits.
Right behind you!
That works two ways. Boycott Washington, New York, and Vermont.
Never been to Mississippi, but I am planning a trip in few weeks and then on to North Carolina.
