“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.
And here’s another one; nuttier than one can imagine; conservatives need to start their own practice of boycotting and banning!! Let’s give back the blessing!!
u sound like the retard!!
And,doyou think that Mississippi cares??? They arfe proud of tgheir heritage,.
States should stand up for their citizens and not be held hostage to the liberal agenda.
Sorry, an individual state cannot ban my freedom to travel where I want to. What is wrong with these people to try to do this. If certain parties don’t like the rules, then don’t go there, but dont deny rest of the Citizens. This type behavior of government control out of control.
EVERYONE is offended
by EVERYTHING except
RADICAL ISLAM! WTF…
Good, if you choose to follow directions like this, stay home.
Bravo!! Love these states! Don’t u dare back down from these PC assholes. There’s a lot of support for u out here!
They are talking about state funded junkets to conferences and such.
Now that that comes up, what about prisoners being extradited?
How can they ban travel to anywhere they don’t have the authority
