“Rest assured, we are in the midst of an unprecedented wave of intolerance and discrimination in our country, and the state of California is not going to support this,” Bonta said.
In 2016, California lawmakers banned non-essential travel to states with laws that discriminate against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people.
