Texas responds to CA LGBT travel ban, saying state firms 'fleeing over taxation and regulation'
The Los Angeles Times ^ | June 23, 2017 | Patrick McGreevy

On Thursday, California Atty. Gen. Xavier Becerra said Texas and three other states were being put on a list of states that had adopted laws seen by Becerra as discriminatory to the LGBT community and therefore were off-limits for state-sponsored travel.

That drew a response Friday from John Wittman, Abbott’s press secretary.

"California may be able to stop their state employees, but they can't stop all the businesses that are fleeing over taxation and regulation and relocating to Texas,” Wittman said.

A spokesman for Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin also criticized California officials.

“It is fascinating that the very same West Coast liberals who rail against the President’s executive order, that protects our nation from foreign terrorists, have now contrived their own travel ban aimed at punishing states who don’t fall in lockstep with their far-left political ideology,” said Woody Maglinger, Bevin’s press secretary.

Good, stay the heck out of the Lone Star State.

For the first time, I was looking through the shows on Netflix and far too many were gay. Barf.

The 9th district is bound to place an injunction on the ban since religious beliefs are being discriminated against by the CA gubmint. //sarcoff

I like this feedback at the LALT: Why would the people of Texas care if California Politicians and Bureaucrats stop going to Texas. I think they rather like the idea. Having another California lefty visit is about as welcome as a plague of mosquitoes invading a picnic, something to be avoided if possible.

I guess after the special session, Missouri will be added to the ban.

No one expects leftists to live by what they tell conservatives. They never have, never will.

“It’s time for California to revert to territory status.”

Maybe swap statehood with Puerto Rico? At least they have sane gun laws now.

Trust me, with all the Democrat ballot stuffing in California, conservative voters have been denied the vote for many years.

So basically Ca. is saying that the majority of its public employees are queers, freaks and perverts necessitating that they not travel outside the squalor of their home state ... OK, sounds good to me here in Texas!!!!!!!

Exactly right. Texas isn’t stopping them from coming. Texas teams are ready to play. No shows forfeit.

We don’t need the sort of uber-leech that is a California government employee to even pass through this state!
