The pace of change in public opinion on LGBT issues is blistering. "A poll released today by the Public Religion Research Institute found 72% of Americans now favor passing laws to protect LGBT people from discrimination, including three-quarters of Democrats and two-thirds of Republicans. A majority of Americans also oppose so-called 'bathroom bills,' which require transgender people to use the restrooms that correspond to their sex at birth."

“It would be devastating for us for years to come,” said San Antonio Hotel & Lodging Association Executive Director Liza Barratachea. “It’s a huge concern for us.”

From San Antonio:"Other priorities for the city include taking additional steps...to fight any 'religious freedom' bills which would allow businesses to discriminate against LGBT individuals or same sex couples. (City Intergovernmental Relations Director Jeff Coyle) says those measures have been proven to be detrimental to a city's ability to attract new employers or major events like sports championships."
