“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.
Congrats to Mississippi! They have found a way to keep liberals out of their state. This should be viewed as a victory! Decent people will be happy to spend their tourist dollars in the state.
Maybe us conservatives need to Boycott liberal states like New York, Washington. and Vermont in response.
If democratic liberals are not going to Mississippi in North Carolina that’s where I am going to have a great vacation
GOOD!! We don’t want you liberal faggots down here anyway! Stay away!
Mississippi thanks for having morales
Up there$#%&!@*f**k’em
excuse me, who in the heck gave anyone the right to ban others from travel to anywhere? If I want to go to MS , I will go and try to stop me and hear me roar. No wrath like that of a woman scorned. So get with the program and remember this is America home of the free and brave, and not a bunch of jerks you think you can push around. As Paul said, go straight to hell. you are anyway
