“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.
We don’t want these$#%&!@*libtards here in these states anyway.
Stop trying to force people to believe what is against the norm? This is still a free country !Ban blm killing men in blue treating the military like they are the enemy and people in office that think they know more then we the people!
I believe the owner of any privately owned business should have the right to refuse service to anyone. They own it, they pay taxes and the bills, they should have that right.
Marxist rule by these states governors and mayors imposing so called travel law.
No one has the right to prohibit someone else’s travel in America! Where do these people think the live?
P**s on em. I’m proud to live in a state where the governor isn’t afraid to stand up for all its citizens rights.
Agreed!
I fully agree with Mississippi
Why must States have to do their version of the U.S. Constitution, ONLY for the Feds to demand that they don’t? And allowing Guys into Women restrooms is beyond INSANE! Why are we doing this for a fraction of 1% of our population?
Screw all of them.
