“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.
Where are these idiots educated? Obviously, they’re not! They should lose their jobs, and never have the ability to work for any government again!
that is fine because MISSISSIPPI will not miss those Yankee’s visit
There is not a damn thing they can do to any one that does. Besides the best thing about those states are the signs saying ur leaving them
FUNNY!!
HAHAHA
Who do these people think they are? Is this not a free country?
Thats great they must be doing something right.
Mississippi must be happy today, Less Communism in the State for a while. It’s not the $ there, it’s the people.
And, Southerners are suppose to be the ignorant ones?
I thought we lived in America how in hell can governors tell people which states they visit sounds like King Obama has spoken
AMEN !!!
