“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.
Love my state!!
I’d like to see someone try to restrict my travel. These folks are surely whackadoodles. Maybe they’re smoking whacky weed with Whacky Weed Bernie.
Three state respect that respect all their citizens. Gotta visit. Here in NY, only lib views respected. Everyone else can go to hell, as far as they’re concerned.
If you live in State that will tell where you can go and can’t you need to replace the Bastards !!
This is laughable!!
Kick off all politicians till you can, the next step is dictatorship
Good, the people of Mississippi have made their point then.
There will be a reduction of incoming trash to that great state!
I LOST MY MIND IN MISSISSIPPI!
I myself would never let some liberal assholes telling me which State I can and cannot go to. The most intolerant people are the ones that are liberals that claim to be tolerant. This makes me want to take a road trip tio Mississippi and North Carolina. These States that are banning travel to Mississippi are way out of line
