LGBT law passed in Mississippi

Similarly to the bill that  was passed in the North Carolina, Mississippi just passed a law making it legal to refuse service to gay couples. Governor Phil Bryant says the bill was passed to "sincerely protect the religious beliefs and moral convictions." In other words for pastors  who's Christian beliefs go against homosexuality, they now have the freedom to refuse a gay couple if they would like to get married. This is so that he isn't or she isn't forced to do something that goes  against their beliefs. Some argue this is discrimination while others argue this is part of the constitution which allows freedom of all  religion. It's a  highly controversial and it's going to be talked about for a while  over the course of these next months.
