House Bill 1523

“As a matter of fact, I reach out to the American Family Association, the Alliance for Defending Freedom. I’ll continue to do so.”

The measure’s stated intention is to protect those who believe that marriage should be between one man and one woman.

Gov. Phil Bryant has clearly stated he feels marriage is only between a man and woman.

“The whole bill gives a license to discriminate,” said Rob Hill, Mississippi director of the gay-rights group Human Rights Campaign.
