“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.
We went to Mississippi. No governor can tell me where I can and can’t go. Mississippi
They can not ban any Amercan from traveling anywhere. This craziness has just become real in the past 2 administrations of the current dictator in the people’s house. He has divided this country.. Now his minions think they have ‘the power”.
Do American citizens have a protected right to Freedom of Movement in our constitution?
I am sure Mississippi will survive without a handful of liberal idiots.
The US would be better off without the south.
I talk to people that’s gay ; because it doesn’t matter who they lay with , if that’s their choice . However for gay Couple to claim being Christian, they should read the Bible ! To of the same sex is wrong ; and marriage is a man & woman …. Otherwise none of us would be here on earth …. Kids are already having a hard time thinking for themselves and these type people should be ashamed , teaching
They can leave the country
