“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.
Love you Mississippi.
Travel where you damn well please
Fucked you nys try to stop me
Way to go Mississippi. We back you 100%, who needs them to come into our states and tell us how to live, one thing these people are forgetting, we have rights also and we are sick of them running over our rights.
Hope everyone knows, they do not have the ability or support to restrict an American from traveling within the the borders of this country we call USA.
This is BS. This banning c**p is out of control. I am an American, I have the right to freedom, which includes traveling to wherever the hell I want. I have a right to my own views and beliefs, which includes my 1, single, legitimate vote for whoever the hell I want- go Trump. This will never be restricted by liberal, DA, government parasites.
I live in Vermont and I will go to Mississippi if I want. I don’t even like the governor in Vermont.
I stand and SALUTE THE PEOPLE OF MISSISSIPPI. I AM PROUD THAT YOU ARE STANDING YOUR GROUND. IVE BEEN THRU YOUR LOVELY STATE, AND WOULD BE VERY HAPPY TO COME VISIT AGAIN. GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOU ALL.
War of north and south only over Gays!!!! What a Joke
Thanks to liberalism’s spread like a cancer in America thru the work of the Democrat Party, we now live in the marketplace of the bizarre, a twilight zone of relativism fed by political correctness that will only grow more malignant if it is not removed. This is what happens when standards are abandoned, truth becomes subjective and feelings replace rational thinking.
