“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.
No state can restrict travel to any other state , it is unconstitutional . The governors have no authority to do so ! They are incurring a treasonable acts of succession !
The stupid is strong in these.
I was born in Mississippi and love it.
GOOD! Mississippi probably don’t want them there anyways.
NO ONE TELLS ME what to do in this Country and if I had the money I would go to Mississippi and North Carolina and enjoy myself with all their seafood. Road Trip to those places that the Government does want you to take.
Like a governor can control someone from going anywhere….what a bunch of idiots. Keep up your good laws Mississippi and N. Carolina…..Normal Christian heterosexuals have rights too!!!!!!
I wonder if the leaders of these states are liberals. Sorry stupid question.
Thank You Mississippi And North Carolina y’all have com’in sense
Our Nation has gone insane!
Yeah, don’t you exercise your freedom to go where you want, when you want, how you want. You do as we tell you! The edicts of totalitarianism.
