“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.
SCREW THOSE LIBERAL ASSHOLES
DO NOT ORDER IDIOT
Mississippi only believes in freedom of religion or anything as long as it’s their religion or their beliefs.ergo everyone else is wrong.hum that sure sounds like freedom to me
Insane
Unconstitutional rules issued by court or government decree, not congressional votes counted. No wonder the left has little use for the legislative branch. We want “We the people” say again in everything.
More states need to be like Mississippi. These states that ban people from traveling there are discriminating. Wake up people to bad Pennsylvania does not follow Mississippi.
I will go where I please.
State employees on work related travel. It’s not banning it’s citizens from doing anything. Did any of you even read the article? Or are you just commenting based on SHOCKING HEADLINE
Your not miss anything. .I can tell you that…
Yes comrades…we are officially communists. Yet the sheeple aren’t a bit alarmed it, nor care. They just want free stuff & paid leave to still around to sing Kumbaya as they smoke. We have been full out socialists for nearly 8 yrs.
Meanwhile back at the ranch, visit Mississippi in the late fall for your next vacation break before the Gestapos in your state demand to see your certified travel papers.
