“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.
Well I guess Mississippi just got saved from exposure to left wing ideology !! Thank you
Idiot
This is Sooooo stupid. These guys are nuts!
I hope everyone refuses to visit these 3 states and see how they like it. Who in the hell do they think they are?
here’s your sign!
Big brother is taking over – if we allow these$#%&!@*like liberals & conservative hypocrites take over, this country is in big trouble – 1st the people’s vote doesn’t count, now they can dictate where you can go…What next?
Seriously?! We are a sovereign country, we can come and go through out all of our states and territories…good luck enforcing your ban on travel!!!
Amen to that
How adorable that the governors of these states feel that they have any power to limit their citizenry from travel. Would this be the point that INTER-state commerce is regulated by the federal government? Since traveling from one state to another is a form of commerce (you will have to buy something, eventually, during your time away from your home state), This is a Federal issue and the states have no power.
I live in Vermont. It truly saddens me to the point of embarrassment that these tree hugging liberals are trying to force me to believe in their philosophies , it will never happen. I will never relinquish the ways of my father and grandfather . I am a true conservative. I love God, working for my money and my lifestyle, I love giving but will not be forced to give. I believe that the constitution and the bible is the true answer to this countries salvation. So you liberal thinking dimwits will never change my views.
