“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.
Because their parents, my generation did away with discipline and work for your$#%&!@*ethnics, I whooped my boys when needed and taught them to work their$#%&!@*off to be on top, all 3 did so what the hell happened with the rest of my age group?
Yeah$#%&!@*those liberals
How about boycotting Washington,New York, and Vermont. Because it’s plain to see that they will allow a pervert to take pictures of your wife, girlfriend, or you little daughter because he identifies himself as a woman.
That’s much more like it! I like it even better because there is no one telling me that I am not allowed to go there — I am free to decide for myself whether I want to go there or not. And, believe me, at this point, I don’t want to go to any one of these three states.
That means less liberals will be going to those states, good for them.
Who cares it will keep the libratards out!
Other states should have no say in what another state chooses to do. I’m non-religious and I support MS’s religious freedom bill. I believe it’s a fair compromise to protect the religious from gays out to persecute anyone that may have religious objections to homosexuality. It’s not right to force someone to go against their religious convictions in the name of political correctness.
Just another case of Politicians who have no balls………
ok, how about 2nd amendment states ban travel to conn, ny, dc, ill, mass, cali, ore and wash
go mississippi glad you are doing the right thing
That’s one way to keep out the riff-raff !
