Mississippi Religious Freedom Restoration Act signed into law

[url=http://www.wlox.com/story/25156994/mississippi-religious-freedom-restoration-act-signed-into-law]So much for Separation of Church and State.[/url] [quote]Governor Phil Bryant signed the controversial Senate Bill 2681 into law Thursday as LGBT supporters gathered in Jackson to protest the bill. Mississippi lawmakers passed the final version of the bill Tuesday that says state and local governments cannot put a substantial burden on religious practices. "I am proud to sign the Mississippi Religious Freedom Restoration Act today, which will protect the individual religious freedoms of Mississippians of all faiths from government interference," said Bryant. "Mississippi has now joined 18 other states to defend religious freedoms on a state level." [b][u]Members and supporters of the LGBT community are concerned the bill will open the door to discrimination against gay people and other groups. Opponents of the bill say the discrimination could also be directed towards ethnic minorities and other religious groups.[/b][/u] Supporters claim the bill mirrors the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act that was signed into law by President Bill Clinton in 1993.[/quote] Opinions?

  • *comes into thread* hey, thats my state! this should be good. *sees angry LBGT supporters rambling for no reason* look no one cares if you're gay. like for real. I had never seen a gay get discriminated by any sort of service/company/etc. I live here, so i know. I'm tired of hearing this "Christians hates gays" crap. Christians don't hate them for who they are, they disagree with their choices. so please ALL of you can screw off. pissed at me? don't care take it up with my .gif
