The Mississippi Senate has voted to advance a piece of sweeping anti-LGBT legislation, which will allow organizations and businesses to deny people an array of services based on religious objections. Opponents of the legislation say House Bill 1523 would legalize discrimination against LGBT people seeking everything from wedding products to counseling services to housing. Erik Fleming with the ACLU of Mississippi says, “It is very broad and very dangerous. It basically sanctions religious discrimination.” This comes after North Carolina passed a sweeping law known as the “bathroom bill,” which bars cities and towns from passing laws prohibiting discrimination against LGBT people in public accommodations.
