“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.
The minute there allowed to implement this on state employees…it won’t stop there…we all know where that road leads!
God bless Mississippi!!!
who the hell are you to tell me were and when i can go? i think people better start stepping up to these losers who even say c**p like this. this country is so screwed up. wake up america

Amen!
I kinda doubt that Mississippi will miss a bunch of idiots from up north (sometimes known as Yankees).
You are free to move around the country according to the Constitution
If God be for you who can be against you?!
No state has the right to tell you where you can travel in this country! No state has the right to tell you what to believe and what you accept. We still are a free country although the current administration and some states are trying to take these freedoms away. We need to wake up!
hahahaha how do they suppose they will stop people from doing so nothing more then a 6th grade bully tactic I think people really need to start growing up and stop letting their toothless god speak (yes in referring to their$#%&!@*)!
