#2I was born in Texas and stayed there through college. Most folks really underestimate the mental burden your state actively working to make your life worse takes on you. I fortunately escaped to Washington, and would seriously never consider returning.

#4Isn't this the whole point of passing the law and others like it while they still can? To scare off the "liberals" who are dangerously close to flipping Texas blue.

#5I was planning on eventually moving to Austin to be closer to family, but I won’t do it now. Will stay here in Washington, even though housing is very expensive here.

Exactly my reasoning for moving out of Poland. It's fun to watch and cheer if you are a normative citizen who will never be affected by this, but for everyone else it turns into hell sooner or later. There are multitudes of people I know who ended up under psychiatric care because it's becoming hopeless for them as the anti-modern kulturkampf gains in strength.

#8If we didn't have variety in states we could eliminate state government. If you like the laws in California, and don't in Texas no one is forcing you to go there. If you offered a construction business and the state made construction unprofitable, you would likely change businesses or leave. Diversity is our strength.

#10We have a representative democracy.
Laws are passed.
People make decisions for/or against a location based upon its laws.
What is not to like about people having choices?
(The law in question seeks to protect those truly lacking a choice in this context.)
