San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee on Friday said he is banning city employees from traveling to North Carolina on public business after the state passed a law limiting transgender rights.

“We are standing united as San Franciscans to condemn North Carolina’s new discriminatory law that turns back the clock on protecting the rights of all Americans including lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals,” Lee said in a statement. “Effective immediately, I am directing City Departments under my authority to bar any publicly-funded City employee travel to the State of North Carolina that is not absolutely essential to public health and safety.”

We are rapidly becoming an insane society.

[knarf]

No ... THEY are

The queer community is just as insane and rabid as islamists

They're both death cults;

One can't make people ... the other kills 'em ... no difference

1) Why would municipal paper pushers in SF ever have a reason to travel across the continent?

2) NC residents may send thank you cards to the mayor care of city hall.

Nobody ever believes me when I say the US Constitution is dead in San Francisco.

Now the little dictators there are banning travel to other US states!

Note to the mayor:

Effective immediately, I am prohibiting family visits to San Francisco for any reason whatsoever. Too many crazies there.

NC should make it a trade embargo, while they’re at it. NC will not buy or sell ANYTHING to San Francisco addresses.

[MagnoliaB]

OH NO!!!! DON’T MAKE NC SUFFER LIKE THAT!!!!(snicker & eye roll)

[Migraine]

Liberal brown-shirt fascism. Par excellence.

[Bubba Gump Shrimp]

why would SF city workers be travelling there on tax payer dime anyhow?

[LegendHasIt]

Good idea.

[csivils]

I hope San Fran gets boycotted right back

San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee on Friday said he is banning city employees from traveling to North Carolina on public business...

What kind of doofus is this guy!

[Tax-chick]

Good. Stay home.

[FreedomPoster]

THERE IT IS!

I don’t care what the conference is, there is little to no reason I can think of for a SF municipal employee to need to travel across the continent for it.

It is always these kinds of issues where the true bigots turn on their red lights.

[Vaquero]

Not we... It’s US versus THEM. There must come a physical split eventually. The rift has become too great

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Good idea.
Keep the left coast dingbats in SF.

[BykrBayb]

Oh please Brer Fags, whatever you do, please don’t throw us into the briar patch.

[Zack Attack]

Good on the travel ban. We prefer our streets here in NC are not used as urinals.
