"The California State Assembly today approved two pro-LGBT bills — one banning travel to states with discriminatory laws, the other calling for gender-neutral restrooms — and sent them on to the Senate for consideration.
By a bipartisan vote of 54-21, the chamber passed Assemblymember Evan Low's bill to ban nonessential state-funded travel to North Carolina, Mississippi, and other states that "sanction or require discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression," according to a press release from Low's office. The bill was also sponsored by Equality California and the National Center for Lesbian Rights."
