States Ban Mississippi Travel

The states of Vermont, New York and Washington are banning travel to Mississippi because of the state’s passage of a law that allows religious groups and some private businesses to refuse service to gay couples.
In a message to top state officials, Vermont Administration Secretary Justin Johnson said the action was a response to Mississippi’s new law.
In a statement, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said the Mississippi law is a “sad, hateful” measure and that he will not allow any official state travel to Mississippi until the law is repealed.
