“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.
B******t b******t b******t and more b******t from Barry’s supporters.
Good for Mississippi!
These things happening now to promote sinful ways are all new and have never happened in the world. Even if people don’t believe in God, laws were in accordance with His laws. No wonder our world and our safety is in grave danger. People better wake up before it’s too late.
I am an American, No on has the right to do this on our soil!!!!!! My husband fought for our Freedom and you can bet, if he was still here, we would be on a trike trip to all of them.
One persons “religious freedom” ends right before it curtailes somebody elses freedoms. If your religion forbids you from eating shellfish then YOU don’t get to eat crabs, I can eat as much crab as I want. See how that works?
