The country's largest gay and lesbian center has officially cut ties with Arizona, following that state's enactment of a strict law aimed at combating illegal immigration.
The Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Center announced Monday that it is joining the growing economic boycott of the state; cities including Los Angeles and the gay-centric town of West Hollywood have already severed economic ties with Arizona.
"As of today, the center will prohibit staff travel to Arizona for conferences or other professional activities and will take steps to end all relationships with businesses headquartered in Arizona," reported the Los Angeles Daily News.
"Our community easily recognizes legalized bigotry and discrimination because we have been fighting it so long and so often," center chief of staff Darrel Cummings told the Daily News.
