San Francisco mayor bans publicly-funded travel to Indiana - Adam B. Lerner - POLITICO

San Francisco prides itself as a tolerant place, but it is closed off to one thing: Indiana.
On Thursday, San Francisco Mayor Edwin Lee, a Democrat, directed all City Departments under his authority to bar publicly funded travel to the Hoosier State.
The decision followed Indiana Republican Gov. Mike Pence’s decision to sign a “religious freedom” bill that critics say effectively sanctions discrimination of LGBT citizens by private businesses.
“We stand united as San Franciscans to condemn Indiana’s new discriminatory law,” Lee said in a statement.
“San Francisco taxpayers will not subsidize legally-sanctioned discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people by the State of Indiana.”
Though San Francisco is a famously LGBT-friendly city, the mayor did not mention in his announcement the 19 other states that currently have similar religious freedom acts on the books.
