Legislators stood tall on LGBT rights until UCLA made Sweet 16
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | March 24, 2017 | Dan Schnur

Last fall, California’s Legislature stood in solidarity with the LGBT community, voting to prohibit publicly funded travel to states that discriminate against gay and transgender individuals.

They stood on principle to bar the expenditure of California tax dollars in states that had implemented bathroom bills that ban people from using public restrooms that do not correspond to the biological sex listed on their birth certificate.

They stood in unity to speak out against laws that undermine basic human rights on the basis of a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity.

And then last week, they quietly sat down.

If you’re going to take a stand, then you have to keep standing even when you’re tired and your feet hurt. But if you’re only going to stand up when it’s easy, then maybe it’s best just to stay in your chair.


What the liberal California legislature is a bunch of phony hypocrites? No it can't be.

This is stupid. "Laws that undermine basic human rights," meaning you're male if you have a penis and Y chromosome. I like how basic biology is now offensive and controversial to the American Left.

Do any red states ban publicly-funded travel to blue states over liberal laws they don't like? Or are only deep blue states that petty with their virtue-signaling?

Hey, money was to be made for UCLA. They ain’t gonna stop them from going. If the National Championship game for football were to be played in a state that had all these laws against the homos that the liberals hate, and UCLA, USC, Cal-Homoberzerkly qualified for the game, you can bet your last LGYB-MNOP-QRSTUV-WXYZ initial group that they would be allowed to travel to NC, Tennessee, GA, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Texas, wherever, they would go. Money to be made. The liberals love money. The team would travel and they would shut their eyes until it was done.

I heard that it was all about the health and safety of LGBT players coaches and fans. They consider Tennessee unsafe.

How exactly is Tennessee unsafe for LGBT peoples?? This bathroom business again?, Not enough gay bars? Its a “red” state thus considered enemy territory??? What exactly is their specific beef??????

Hypocrisy isn’t pretty but it’s fun to watch when leftwing extremist Bolshevik politicians do it.

Reminds me of a scene from Bananas written by Woody Allen.

A dictator is overthrown and the new “liberal” instantly becomes insane.

Esposito: From this day on, the official language of San Marcos will be Swedish. Silence! In addition to that, all citizens will be required to change their underwear every half-hour. Underwear will be worn on the outside so we can check. Furthermore, all children under 16 years old are now... 16 years old!

Cal and UCLA football teams are scheduled to play at North Carolina and Memphis, respectively next season. Wonder if they will forfeit the games instead.

It all comes down to money, doesn’t it? Cause that’s the only thing they gain from sports, a piece of the gate and the television contracts. And it’s a bundle of it.

So, what’s the price of your integrity? Apparently a lot less than one might think in California.
