“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.
A sure fire way to fan the fire of another Civil War by these governors! They should be recalled and forbidden to ever run for office of any kind forever !
What a complete joke!! Shows you how stupid elected officials can be!!
I know that there are nice people living there ‘cuz my brother and sister-in-law live there even tho ‘ the politics are terrible. You can’t throw the baby out with the water.
Good deal, if you are stupid enough to do what some moron says, then by all means, you are too stupid to come to our God fearing, gun toting state! Stay the$#%&!@*out for your own good!
F you! Just who do you think you are to speak like this? It is a free country still!
I’ll travel where I want, when I want!! This, for the time being, is still a free country, so, try and stop me!!!
No one can tell you where you can and can not go. I would go now just to show these tyrants they don’t control c**p.
SOOOO, how exactly do you enforce this travel ban? How will you know where someone is going when they leave your state? How do you tell someone that they can’t go see their family or a dying mother or father, attend a family funeral, etc because you banned their travel? You clearly have not thought this through at all. Your simply making an emotional decision based on your feelings, which is insane, but typical of liberals. No logic, just fear and loathing, which is no basis to make such a decison. ANNNDDDD, where the hell do yo get off telling anyone where they can and can not go? Screw you and your communist rules. You liberals are just gone…gone off the deep end to your assbackwards world never to be seen in the land of common-sense and good judgment again.
You do know gays are not really behind this, it’s muslims. They are hiding behind the gay and atheist labels to pull their antiAmerican c**p and using it to keep the American People divided on these issues as a distraction. Wise up people.
