“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.
SOUNDS LIKE$#%&!@*HAS RIZEN
This is still a FREE Country and NO ONE has the right to restrict travel from state to state! It is time We The People show the Government just where they belong! They work for us, We The People! We have a Constitution that has been fought for 200 years by our forefathers and our military every since! We will NOT just stand by and loose it! Take heed all you High and Mighty controllers of this country, we will stand up and fight for our Country!
I love Mississippi
What makes these clowns think they have that kind of power,must be Democrats.
This is so stupid.
Cannot ban someone from traveling to another state. Get real.
Since when can states deem your travel illegal if you travel to a state that doesn’t like your political views . Our constitution is under more attacks than all added together previously
Support Mississippi and North Carolina!!!
