“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.
This is a free country is it not. Nobody can tell me I can go. It will be a cold day in hell before I listen to a politician.
These governors can go pound sand ………..no person can tell another person where they can and can’t go in America. And if they forbid state government employees where the can’t go they will get their$#%&!@*sued!
They can kiss my$#%&!@*I go anywhere I want
This is a joke to think someone could forbid another person to travel to a state because of their laws! I’m on the Mississippi side. Anyone listening to these fools are crazy.
I know where I am going to for vacation
I couldn’t of said it better. You spoke the truth
For Gov’t/ State employees only, and that is a good thing.
More divisive driveling from the party of freaks and perverts !
Go Mississippi glad you got some backbone I am sick of all these people trying to cram their lifestyles down my throat let them do what they want to but try to get me to agree with them just keep it to your self
If heaven ain’t a lot like Dixie I don’t wanna go. If heaven ain’t a lot like Dixie I’d just as soon stay home. If they ain’t got a Grand Ole Opry like they do in Tennessee you can send me to hell or New York City it’d be about to me !
