“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.
They weren’t going there anyway
B******T you will not tell me where I can travel to.
To what extent?
Provably working for obama
Nathan, head on over here to NC and say that. Please explain to me why other states feel it’s OK to make our laws for us.
Welcome to the Obamanation of America. This man is tearing this country apart piece by piece. And the sad thing about it is our Senior Military Leaders, Congress, the Senate and all those local elected officials are letting this happen. They being pursuaded by the state Congressional and Senator’s who bend over backwards to allow Obama to break the law and violate our Country’s Constitution.
They cant stop you from going and they dont have that power I would go to Mississippi before I would go to any of the 3 states saying you cant go if I choose not to go thats my choice if they tell me I cant go that’s an illegal violation of my rights and that will not be tollerated
Unfortunately Minnesota shows its ultra-liberal side.
Those god forsaken Christian people : Stop being gay or stop killing baby’s or follow those 10 commandments. .like : thou shall not kill..pfft..and the other 9…and get this..he allows you to make a choice or free will or something like that. ..Jesus. .they had to remove the 10 commandments for all Federal and State building because it created a hostile environment and people where offended. …There’s a stairway to heaven and a highway to hell and it seems like today has already played out before and it didn’t end well for those who chose wrong
I live in NC. Stand your ground Mississippi. Hats off to you!
