California bans state-sponsored travel to five more states over anti-LGBTQ laws - Metro Weekly

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : The travel ban has some exemptions for certain trips, such as those needed to enforce California law, or to honor contracts signed before states were added to the list.
41% : The Lone Star State had argued that that the travel ban was "born of religious animus" and violates the Constitution.
40% : Decrying a spate of new laws prohibiting transgender youth from participating in sports based on their gender identity, denying them access to restrooms or locker rooms aligning with their gender identity, or denying access to gender-affirming medical care, Bonta said that California "must take action to avoid supporting or financing discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people."
40% : See also: Despite "repeal" of HB 2, cities and states continue enforcing travel bans to North Carolina
37% : In the lawsuit, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) argued that allowing the travel ban to stand would simply lead conservative and liberal states to ratchet up the culture wars by retaliating against each other for laws either side finds objectionable.
