    The is the actual title of the article if you actually clicked on it. It’s not my job to alter it, and in principle that is what happened, regardless if it’s for all travel or not.

    “Los Angeles County bans official travel to Florida, Texas over LGBTQ policies”



    whether this is just virtue signaling (as I’ve said all along) this ban is profoundly stupid.

    Did Cali do this for Floyd or any other incident?

    Interesting seeing someone complaining that others are intolerant of his intolerance. That people are hating on his hatred of others. That people are bitter about his bitterness.

    I haven't called a poster anything remotely as offensive as @Major has done towards me here. You need to learn to accept that when someone disagrees with you on a political issue, it doesn't mean that this person is promoting hatred.

    Just because someone doesn't think certain things should be promoted towards children doesn't equate being hateful towards LGBTQ people. Just because someone might be more "conservative" than you are doesn't mean the person wants to deny anyone healthcare. These are massive logical leaps some of you guys are making, and I can only explain them to myself by the partisan state of politics in the US. The "other side" is being demonized, and @Major's hate-filled posts are a good example of that.

    You continue to try to demonize gay people by propagating the fear-mongering lie that gay teachers are "promoting" (or "grooming") gay life towards children. Just in the same way far right wingnuts were fear-mongering about bathrooms a few years ago. Both of these reflect intolerance to people.

    I have not talked about that at all. You must be confusing me.

    Nowhere do I talk about "grooming"?

    Also, I wasn't even talking about "gay life", I was referring to encouraging taking puberty blockers, etc.

    My advice, don't engage him, he's a sociopath and you don't know how far he will go in an escalation.

    The title of your thread is "LA bans flights to Florida, texas." Your rendering of the actual headline and/or story is so poor it's a lie.

    I don't recall there being any similar virtue-signaling over George Floyd. However, there were official travel bans levied against North Carolina over their stupid bathroom bill in 2016-17. New York State, California, Minnesota, and a bunch of cities had bans like this. It mostly is just a symbolic gesture because it is more of an inconvenience for the banning entity than it is for the target. Commercial boycotts (which North Carolina also endured) are much more damaging though, and local governments participating in a larger boycott effort can give those commercial boycotters more momentum. So far, corporations seem to be too afraid to boycott Texas -- we're a big market -- but if we keep on in this direction, who knows.
