We haven't passed a bathroom bill yet. The Lt. Gov. wants one, and the Gov. does not. I doubt it passes. We really do not have a bathroom problem, just a politician problem.

The OP wanted a comment on California public schools canceling games in the 4 states that California has identified as a no-go: North Carolina, Tennessee, Kansas and Mississippi, and the "dozen more states" that were in his link. I don't follow this issue, but if this means games will be impacted, like UCLA, USC etc. decide to cancel games vs teams in the states they disagree with on this issue, I would think those 3 would have to leave the conference and go Independent, as all conferences would have a team that is located in states that go another way (against their political beliefs)
Cheers!

People have differing beliefs in different states. Why not respect the laws of each state. California is beyond progressive, but has no right to climb on the political soap box. We are fifty separate states and should respect each other. California doesn't even respect or follow federal law, so I do not hold out much hope.

Its basically the following argument

Mississippi, NC, Tennessee and Texas are arguing that they have the unilateral right to discriminate against LGBT persons. California and NY are saying "the taxpayers are not going to effectively export its residents using taxpayer funded institutions to those jurisdictions so they can be humiliated/discriminated against".

Laws in order to be fair to everyone have to be rooted in fact not fantasy. Just because some guy happens to "feel" like a woman today, doesn't give him the right to use a woman's bathroom. If he does he is discriminating against any females who happen to be there and think they are in a gender segregated space.
Laws can not be based on perceptions and feelings and be fair to all.
