For instance, a lot of this bill would make it easier to discriminate against people who are seeking social services. As the ACLU of Mississippi points out, homeless shelters, food banks, and day cares who call themselves religious organizations  i.e., many to most of them  would be able to turn away a single mother and her children on the grounds that shes a sinful fornicator. Religious charter schools who get government money could expel students who are believed to be having sex. Adoption agencies can discriminate not just against gay couples and single people, but against any couple they believe had sex before they were married.



The law also offers broad protections to those who would deny medical care to people. If you work for hospital or clinic that gets government money, you can deny transgender people treatments related to their transition or psychological, counseling, or fertility services to anyone in the official list of naughty people. If a counseling service kicks you out for being gay or having sex outside of marriage, they cant lose their government contract over it under this bill."

Mississippi. God damn. "To be clear, being able to discriminate against gay people, transgender people and fornicators is already legal, to one extent or another, in Mississippi. What this law does is deny the state the right to discriminate against anyone who would do so. That might seem minor, but in reality, removing any threat of losing government money or contracts for forcing your bigoted religious beliefs on others is actually a pretty strong check on a lot of this behavior.For instance, a lot of this bill would make it easier to discriminate against people who are seeking social services.
