California Bans Travel to Anti-LGBTQ States

Fox8 – California added five more states, including Florida, to the list of places where state-funded travel is banned because of laws that discriminate against members of the LGBTQ community, the state attorney general announced Monday.

Democratic Attorney General Rob Bonta added Florida, Arkansas, Montana, North Dakota and West Virginia to the list that now has 17 states where state employee travel is forbidden except under limited circumstances.

“Make no mistake: We’re in the midst of an unprecedented wave of bigotry and discrimination in this country — and the State of California is not going to support it,” Bonta said.

Lawmakers in 2016 banned non-essential travel to states with laws that discriminate against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. The 12 other states on the list are: Texas, Alabama, Idaho, Iowa, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Kentucky, North Carolina, Kansas, Mississippi, Tennessee.

The five states newly added to the list have introduced bills in their legislatures this year that prevent transgender women and girls from participating in school sports consistent with their gender identity, block access to health care and allow the discrimination of the LGBTQ community, Bonta said.

  1. I have been relo state shopping lately. Thanks for the list. I am about done with Virginia after over 40 years. A beautiful state being overrun by Northerners, Northam and super creepy ne’er do wells, but I repeat myself.

  3. Why do I care? The only reason I stop in commielifornia is when an overseas flight stops for a layover. And even then, I try to avoid those. However, there are not many options when flying to asia from colorado.

    Those countries not only throw homosexuals off of buildings, they do it in front of crowds of hundreds of people. And they aint horrified onlookers either
