“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 wall, bet they take illegals

There is no “United” States anymore. They are not United. They have turned on each other and the Federal government over marijuana, gay marriage, immigration, carrying guns, and now use of bathrooms and dressing rooms. The US is disintegrating before our eyes.
And besides the travel these states that don’t want men dressed as women using women’s bathrooms… they are backing up the religious rights of their people to be able to refuse to bake a cake for a gay wedding or something else that is against their religious beliefs. .. but in Oregon those same Christians got big fines. ..
So answer this… who is discriminating against who..? Sounds to me like the Christians are the ones being discriminated for their beliefs. .. the LGBT community doesn’t have to buy those goods or services from those vendors…. They still have a free choice to just go down the street and buy from someone who doesn’t have a problem selling to them…
This backward thinking is being forced on us…
On my way YES MISSISSIPPI
