"Mississippi has passed the most anti-LGBT legislation to date and the Governor has indicated that he'll sign it.

House Bill 1523 passed a vote in the State Senate on Wednesday and will now be sent to Governor Phil Bryant to be signed into law (after an amendment vote in the House). "

I find it hard to believe what's going on in the USA at the moment. I think you should be banning these hate groups instead.

"The SPLC's definition of a "hate group" includes any group with beliefs or practices that attack or malign an entire class of people - particularly when the characteristics being maligned are immutable"

We're trying. They keep on convincing the people that matter that they aren't a hate group, somehow, by saying they are the victims. It's the same thing I heard from my abusive ex.

All I can say is I have no plans to go home (Mississippi) any time soon. I miss my family, I do. But I'm not going to go anywhere that has made it legal for people to crap all over me. I hate what is happening in the US, and I'm glad that I'm applying for citizenship in another country.

"(CNN) — Mississippi's Legislature became the latest to pass a so-called religious freedom bill, once again putting a Republican governor on the spot to either side with social conservatives or those who think such legislation amounts to discrimination."
