Local Authors Urge for Repeal of HB 1523

John Grisham and Donna Tartt are among 95 Mississippi authors urging state officials to repeal the law that will let workers cite religious beliefs to deny services to lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender people.
The writers said in a letter released Monday that House Bill 1523 has “prompted hateful rhetoric that poisons the political process.”
The bill is scheduled to become law on July 1st.
