Did you know that liberals in Sacramento passed a law to black list certain states for travel and trade? Yep, it’s true and today they just added another state to that list….Iowa! What did Iowa do, you may wonder? Well read on…
“California Attorney General Xavier Becerra (D) announced a ban on state-funded travel to Iowa on Friday in response to an Iowa law that prohibits Medicaid from covering gender transition surgeries, according to The Sacramento Bee. Gov. Newsom (left) likes this law and can’t wait to use it.
Iowa becomes the latest addition to a list that also includes Alabama, Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Texas under a 2016 law, Assembly Bill 1887, which bans state-sponsored travel to states that enact laws perceived as discriminatory on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity or expression.
From the website of the California Office of the Attorney General:
In AB 1887, the California Legislature determined that “California must take action to avoid supporting or financing discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people.” (Gov. Code, § 11139.8, subd. (a)(5).) To that end, AB 1887 prohibits a state agency, department, board, or commission from requiring any state employees, officers, or members to travel to a state that, after June 26, 2015, has enacted a law that (1) has the effect of voiding or repealing existing state or local protections against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression; (2) authorizes or requires discrimination against same-sex couples or their families or on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression; or (3) creates an exemption to anti-discrimination laws in order to permit discrimination against same-sex couples or their families or on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression. (Gov. Code, § 11139.8, subds. (b)(1), (2).) In addition, the law prohibits California from approving a request for state-funded or state-sponsored travel to such a state.
Watch out Texas, they’re coming after you next.
Turnabout is fair play!
I suggest all city, county and state meetings or organization get-togethers currently scheduled for anywhere in Taxifornia be moved elsewhere. Las Vegas always has lots of rooms as do many other cities that would be GLAD to have them!
Taxifornia understands lo$ing tourism $$ . . . . . . .
Attempted gender change is birth certificate fraud.
Bruce Dern’s Finger….. Wow, where did that name come from. LOL! There has to be a story here!
I waiting for Bruce Dern’s finger to write us again, with a name like that it’s got to be good reading.
He identifies as a celebrity’s finger but has problems with trans people.
Cool. Cool.
No.
Could be today’s chuckle . . .

Marketing Genius!!!
I find these black lists to be pure grandstanding and incredibly silly.
Yep Chris I agree.
Always a pleasure when we see eye to eye. Now please, do something about the Molyneux post. That guy is a nutso anti-Semitic freak.
