Mississippi Interracial Couple Evicted For Being In An Interracial Marriage

There have been a rash of so-called “religious liberty” laws passed in mostly Southern Republican-led states that many Americans think are harmless because they think they only target “the gay.” However, none of the over-a-dozen Republican state legislatures ever mention or allude to the word “gay” in the text of the “license to discriminate laws,” by specific design. Those theocratic religious freedom laws are created solely to allow “the religious” free rein to target anyone they believe is not living up to their standards.

Apparently, in super-religious Mississippi, living up to their standards means marrying who the religious folks “allow” and it had better not be marrying someone of a different racial makeup. A young couple in Tupelo Mississippi discovered the hard way that the good evangelicals in town embrace Christian standards that will not allow interracial couples to enjoy their Constitutional freedoms.

And forget the Constitution; adding to their current ‘religious freedom’ to discriminate laws, Mississippi just passed a very harsh “Protecting Freedom of Conscience from Government Discrimination Act;” it completely nullifies the Constitution’s Fourteenth Amendment and equal rights protections. It is telling that the good evangelical Republicans in Mississippi had the audacity to name a law protecting discrimination as protection from “government discrimination.” Government discrimination is what normal people consider protecting and upholding the United States Constitution’s equal rights guarantee.

The south think differently from the rest of us and think that it is okay to discriminate as long as you do it in the name of religion.
