“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.
Baning travel! Too fucking stupid. While I believe I have no control over ones sexual proclivity, I have no right to equate belief with the freedom of travel. Government is to be here to work for people not run their lives. Banning travel how udder ignorant.
The seeds of Communism have begun to sprout

Just more c**p to distract us from what’s happening. Trent have u noticed how many areas are being bought up by the city county or state around you?? And that’s happening all over the country. Suppose it’s the start of them owning everything just like all Communist countries do……. It makes sense when u look at how the election process is going.
Mississippi here I come right back where I started from
Any time you let a man dressed in women’s cloths
who do they think they are?
Rock n roll mississippi
Are people really as stupid as I am reading? These states aren’t banning lgbt, they are just trying to keep their female relatives safe from predators by not letting men in the womans bathrooms. There have been cases to prove that this happens. Follow Meijers lead and make a unisex bathroom to be used by persons comfused by which sex they are.
