“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.
I went to the women bathroom in Logan Airport this morning and it was there a huge tall transgender there .. I was alone with this person in the bathroom it was 5:30 am..
I was in shock and run out of the bathroom… Looking for another one after 6 hours of flight!…
I do not want them in the WOMEN bathroom..
I will travel to Mississippi and support them…
The people who support transgender in the women bathroom have to ask themselves how comfortable they will be with them alone in the bathroom!!
I am not!
We are Americans. We can travel wherever we want. Is Communism coming to the US via our politicians??????
SORRY fellas IM free to travel where I choose!!!!!
Stupid is what stupid does….no reason to go to someplace stupid now y’all
Proud of this beautiful state.
these states should be ashamed…they can not force their citizens to do this…perhaps we should just not travel to Washington, NY, and Vermont because of their mean spirited attitudes.
What?
WHO GAVE ANYONE THE RIGHT TO BAN TRAVEL TO ANOTHER STATE.
Jay Inslee can go back under a rock, absolutely worthless as the governor of Washington.
This is so stupid it has to be a joke
