" 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. I am
announcing today that I am adding four states to the list of states
where California-funded or sponsored travel will be restricted on
account of the discriminatory nature of laws enacted by those states.
While the California DOJ works to protect the rights of all our
people, discriminatory laws in any part of our country send all of us
several steps back. That's why when California said we would not
tolerate discrimination against LGBTQ members of our community, we
meant it. ”
California Attorney General Xavier
Becerra; California will prohibit state-funded and state-sponsored
travel to Alabama, Kentucky, South Dakota and Texas based on
discriminatory legislation enacted in each state, June 22, 2017.
