California has banned state-funded travel to 17 states over LGBTQ laws

Gender politics aside… is this legal (in the eyes of the US federal govt) for the state of California to do? Is it precedented for one state to ban state-funded interaction with a fellow state for some cause?

California will show us the true meaning of discrimination.

Honest question. If I was some sort of authority figure with the state’s building inspection. I have a need to travel to Florida to inspect that building collapse because I’m an expert in that field. Does this mean I need to pay out of pocket to do work?<p>How does it work if I have legit business there?

This isn&#x27;t a &quot;ban&quot; this is a decision to not spend CA state money to fund travel to these locations.<p>Private funded travel is fine.<p>Sounds like a non-story to me.

I have thought for years that the modern trend of extreme polarization, radicalization, and focus on identity politics has a real risk of leading to some kind of civil war scenario. With the rioting last year from both liberals and conservatives (cities looted and burning, the capitol invaded) and now this inter-state tension, I think we&#x27;re unfortunately seeing some major acceleration towards the civil war scenario.

&gt; The Human Rights Center predicts 2021 will break records as the worst year for what it views as anti-LGBTQ legislation, surpassing 2015 when 15 new anti-LGBTQ bills were signed into law.
