Mississippi governor passes religious freedom bill

Nick Morea

Mississippi Governor Phillip Bryant has signed a bill allowing businesses to turn down service because of their religious beliefs.

This bill allows religious organizations the ability to deny same-sex marriages, adoption and foster
care services.

It also allows companies to fire and not hire those who identify as part of the LGBT community and allows businesses to not sell or rent them retail.

Medical professionals can refuse to operate or give any medical care related to sex-reassignment cases.

The American Family, a Christian-based organization, claimed it was a victory for Christian activists everywhere.
