“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.
NO state can ban travel to another state. If anyone is stupid enough to obey this garbage, they need to get a copy of the Constitution and the Bill Of Rights.
Insanity will be the norm if Hillary is President and we have a liberal supreme court ruling the country. For all of those Trump haters, please explain to me how we will survive liberalism on steroids?
Exactly….I believe these 3 states have Democratic Governors….
There will be no religious freedom If Hillary is President.
Vote trump!
More sick democrat B******t !!! I can’t wait until Mr. Trump gets into office by the will of the people and bring the constitution back as written !!!!
Obozo’s America

Lol. It wasn’t the states that banned travel, it was their liberal leadership, who apparently are intolerant of other people’s views. Just like trying to ban chick fillet, which is busier now than ever, it does nothing but embarrass Americans. Thanks Obama.
How can a State, much less anyone ban you from going anywhere? I thought this was the United States of America!
