“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.
Republicans are hypocrites!
While it is true that politicians from all parties are found to be deviant predators, republicans build their political platforms on controlling people’s sex lives……Hypocritical
Der Kommisars have given their dictates. Screw em
No one can ban travel…unless, of course, we’ve become a full on Communist state. Has the clown been busy with his pen again.
Time to recall these jerks. They certainly have prerogative to disagree with the law but they don’t have and no elected public servant should have right to tell another man where they can and cannot go. Kick them out of the governors mansion, take away their limos and airplanes and bring them back to reality. You were elected to manage not to control. Obviously too many fancy dinners and being surrounded by$#%&!@*kissers has gone to their heads.
LOL. I say good.. who wants snooty , arrogant northerners in Mississippi !
MISSISSIPPI IS BETTER OFF !! JUST LESS LIBERALS TRYING TO VISIT!!!
And those states could kiss my &$$
Not a very smart move.
Nobody wants them anyway stay where your at and all Yankees go home and stay there. Jair because you’ve killed your own states with Liberia policy doesn’t mean we want any of you down here. We’d like to keep our cities and states afloat and solvent. Not going crazy and broke for your amusement of being terrorist to the American people as I see it. Y’all are worse than the Muslims really about killing Americans and freedom real freedom.
