"The Mississippi Senate has approved House Bill 1523 — a measure that would allow the denial of certain medical services to the LGBT community. 

Under the legislation, known as the Protecting Freedom of Conscience from Government Discrimination Act, government officials who hold the religious or moral belief that marriage is between a man and a woman would be allowed to deny marriage licenses to gay couples, according to a Mississippi Public Broadcasting report."
