California adds 4 states to travel ban for laws it says discriminate against LGBTQ community

quote [ California has issued a ban on state-funded and state-sponsored travel to four more states that it says have laws discriminating against LGBTQ people.
...
Alabama, South Dakota, and Texas all recently passed legislation that could prevent LGBT parents from adopting or fostering children and Kentucky passed a religious freedom bill that would allow students to exclude LGBTQ classmates from campus groups.
...
The law bans state-funded or state-sponsored travel by employees of state agencies and departments as well as members of boards, authorities, and commissions. ]

California is clearly out of touch with heartland Christian values in Real America.

Its economic sanctions. It doesn't exclude Texan refugees.

It's more than that, though. California can't ask state LGBT state employees to take an unreasonable risk, and they can't discriminate by only sending straight employees. It's got to be all or nothing.

figured Texas would make the list, but I live in the bastard town of EL Paso, its purplish blue here. Rebs never come here to campaign.
