“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.
Now I know I want to go to Mississippi. States rights!
They cannot ban you from going anywhere!!
Hmm, have noticed when northern states passed this law they were given a pass. Southern States are bashed.
Anyone who would say such a thing. They are such wahhhhh babies. Quit trying to tell others what they can do. There are laws against bullying. If adults have to act like babies. How are you going to raise your children? How much danger are those children in. If you are so childish.
Nobody can impede a persons travel’s. PERIOD
I tell you, no one is stopping me from traveling. Wish these idiots would get a life. They are the ones who are wrong
People go where you want ,what are the governors going to do ride along with in your travels out of state,this is laughable
Just love how the needs of a few outweigh the needs if the many…and 200+ years of history! If you want gender neutral bathrooms, install one. But to put females at risk of being violated is UNACCEPTABLE! I will p**s on the sidewalk before I use a gender neutral bathroom.
So when did this become Russia
As you can see the south will rise again. Do you ever think the southern states don’t want you there!
