alifornia has issued a ban on state-funded and state-sponsored travel to four more states that it says have laws discriminating against LGBTQ people.
The travel ban was first put into effect January 1 when state measure AB 1887 became law. The law says California is "a leader in protecting civil rights and preventing discrimination" and should not support or finance "discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people."
The travel ban list also includes states that California believes don't protect religious freedoms and states that it says use religious freedom as a basis of discrimination.
"Our country has made great strides in dismantling prejudicial laws that have deprived too many of our fellow Americans of their precious rights. Sadly, that is not the case in all parts of our nation, even in the 21st century," California Attorney General Xavier Becerra said in a statement Thursday.
Why the ban?
Kansas, Mississippi, North Carolina, and Tennessee were the original states banned by AB 1887, but Becerra added Alabama, Kentucky, South Dakota and Texas on Thursday, citing what he called new discriminatory legislation enacted against the LGBTQ community in those states.
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.

Well, when your state is headed to the financial abyss with no possible solution, then you can choose to distract attention with this useless gesture.

First off, this is Communist New Network...
Second, sounds like California is turning into a ‘prisoned city’...where you can only go within California...hmmm, could this be a ‘Hitler’ mandate??? I think it is...
California is a State within the United States of America, and the Constitution is the law which we follow...those in California Government seems to think they are ‘an island of their own’ and maybe they just might get their wish, but the Citizens had better stop and think about all of this:
Without Federal Government Grants, California would lose all of this, they would not get any benefits to the Citizens nor would they get monies for places like the Orville dam, road construction, gasoline, electricity, anything that helps keep Citizens going in a State...
Oh sure they can build their own power grid, they could rebuild their own roads, they can maintain their own hospitals, they could even grow their own food supply, but where is the money going to come from? The jobs you have, half or three fourths of your checks would be taken for these benefits...and can you imagine the tax base you would be paying to be ‘independent’, the prices in food products grown in your Island would cost, the high price of having your own electricity...
Yep, go ahead California...if the people there don't start to rebel against this, this is where you will be, then on the other hand because Your Governor went and made a deal with China, has Mexico as their first support, you might make it, but I doubt it...

Will California ban certain people who throw homosexuals off of roofs from entering their state?
Noooo... Murdering homosexuals is a religious practice. California would never interfere in the sacred ceremonies of another religion unless it's Christianity.

Amazing that the homos supporting these moose limbs don’t get that THEY would be the very first ones thrown off the roof, er, sacrificed.

I say reciprocate with a ban against CA, for violating the 2A rights of its people.

The most recent news from California representatives, was it said in Spanish or have any of them bothered to learn English?

I wonder if/when California will go further and ban the selling of any Ca. product to states on their Ban List?
Left to their own insanity, they might write their own demise sooner rather than later, LOL.

And of course, anyone can travel to any of the states on the list in a personal capacity. "
Gee, no kidding. Incredible that the news media thinks anyone would even believe California's moronic governor and legislature might have the ability to stop citizens from traveling where they please on their own dime. California's Democrats can go on banning travel to any state on the union that offends their tender sensibilities while grand-standing with corrupt dictators from China on the environment - the rest of the nation and much of California will just go on laughing at them.

Good, they do the travel ban and Trump will pull the federal funds from their criminal hideouts AKA “Sanctuary cities”.

I think they should set up Checkpoints at all Border Crossings and prevent anyone from those States from entering unless they sign a Pledge of Loyalty to the State of CA.
The only exception would be the Mexican Border. You know, the Country that has the draconian Immigration Laws that would have the Liberals marching in the streets if we adopted them here.
That will show them...
