“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.
We had religious freedom before the Supreme Court decided to over rule one of God’s laws now all of a sudden we are suppose to bow down to people who practice immoral acts that most people are totally against and we have an illegal President determined to push his gay rights agenda on everyone rather we like it or not the hell with what the Constitution says that law needs to be overturned the sexual preferences of several of the Supreme Court Judges needs to be examined to see if there was bias and this law needs to be overturned
This is not within state rights, NOR in the Constitution. They should keep their mouths shut, but if they persist, IGNORE THEM.
Are the American people really dumb enough to allow themselves to be told were they can travel? If they are God help us

Good luck enforcing ignorance like this!
Sounds like they are rulers, not govenors
If the liberals don’t want to come to Mississippi we must be doing something right.
Stupidity at its best!
