SF could ban business with firms in states hostile to LGBT rights
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | April 26, 2016 | Emily Green

San Francisco would have to stop entering into contracts with companies based in states that bar civil-rights protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people under legislation introduced Tuesday at the Board of Supervisors.

The proposed ordinance, by Supervisor Scott Wiener, is another effort to increase pressure on North Carolina and Mississippi to rescind recently enacted laws to limit transgender rights.

China's version of the Supreme Court ruled that gay marriage is illegal in that country

San Francisco has enjoyed deep cultural and economic ties with China for more than 150 years, including a long-standing Sister City relationship with Shanghai since 1979. More than 25 percent of the City’s population is of Chinese ancestry, and many San Francisco companies, including our leading legal, financial, architecture, engineering and technology firms, are already doing business in China. As China’s economy continues to mature, more and more Chinese companies are looking to establish North American headquarters and business operations, and equally important, San Francisco Bay Area companies can benefit by participating in one of the fastest-growing economies in the world. ChinaSF helps facilitate these opportunities.

Businesses that are not hostile to normalcy and the Constitution should stop serving SF and its residents.

Who cares about San FranSicko? Probably most people there will die of STDs and other results of their immorality. NOT having their buSINess is probably a badge of honor.

Possibly. Based on “interfering with interstate commerce” but with the Obama Dept. of Commerce led by commie Perez, it is doubtful.

However, I wonder if a lawsuit filed in No. Carolina would have a chance of being heard.

By the way, Red China is using San Francisco as a base of infiltration of American industry for industrial and military espionage.

Look up Rep. Judy Chu (D) at www.keywiki.org and see her Red Chinese ties.

A similar operation is going on in New York City’s Chinatown and the City Council. Loaded with reds and Marxists and dupes.

And nobody is paying any attention to it, except a few private citizens with intell training.

Where are the HIV and AIDS drugs manufactured?

An embargo on those meds would turn S.F. into a ghost town overnight.

It’s none of SF’s business to tell what states companies there can do business with.

That’s blatantly unconstitutional.

You CANNOT restrict free commerce with another state because of their laws.

If that’s the case then North Carolina could pass a law the forces San Francisco to only do business with the KKK.

And, best of all...This will prevent gay San Franciscans from buying wedding cakes from North Carolina bakers!!!

For years, I have gone out of my way to avoid travel to Frisco (Friscans just HATE it when you call it that).

I haven't spent as much as a farthing there in many years.

In a similar vein, could Springsteen, Bryan Adams, Joe Walsh, etc be named as defendants in a class action for their refusal to perform in NC and Miss? Sounds like they're guilty of REGIONAL discrimination. Hey, discrimination is discrimination.
