“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.
New York has been on every single banning of travel that I can remember .. if they want their people to stay there by trying that it’s on them. But .. yes but … if the People allow they deserve no better
Will dog catchers start telling us which pets to own?
Fuckem
Never thought I’d live to see these signs!
Sounds like the Obama Dictatorship, that would love to rule the US. As for the phrase of “Thout Shalt No”, is used in the Ten Commadments, thus those Gov. should be charged with plagerism.
This is the United States of America. Americans can travel anywhere they want in OUR Great Nation. The modern DICTATORS have no valid place in our society. Protect the Constitution of the United States of America.
Assholes wish they had that kind of power!
That makes me want to take a trip to Mississippi
How, by not issuing passports to travel to Mississippi?
Yea right!! Prole go where they want in US
