During its creation, I knew very little about Mississippi's new law titled HB 1523. I didn't have a strong opinion over the new laws cropping up in Southern states aimed at protecting Christians from an 'allegedly' belligerent homosexual community threatening lawsuits for not being allowed access to certain restrooms or demanding services that might go against someone's personal/religious beliefs. When the film industry began boycotting North Carolina because of their newly passed law, that got my attention. When the Georgia governor vetoed a similar bill due to threats the profitable film industry would pull up stakes and leave the state, I felt there was a lesson learned from North Carolina's folly... It's foolish to jeopardize a state's economy by passing a controversial law in an attempt to solve a nebulous moral problem...![]()
