The NBA joins the NFL in issuing a warning to lawmakers in Texas, after the National Football League cautioned last week that anti-LGBTQ legislation such as Texas\u2019 SB 6 could affect Texas cities\u2019 future bids for the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThe NBA&#8217;s commitment to the safety, dignity and worth of its players, employees and fans is clear. It&#8217;s time for Texas to make the same commitment,\u201d said JoDee Winterhof, HRC Senior Vice President for Policy and Political Affairs. \u201cThis weekend the city of New Orleans will celebrate an All-Star Weekend originally slated for Charlotte. Is that the kind of loss Texas lawmakers want to see? We hope that Texas lawmakers will heed this warning better than their North Carolinian counterparts did. Bills such as SB 6 are discriminatory, costly and wrong, and we are glad to see that the NBA and the NFL continue to stand on the side of equality and fairness.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In July of 2016, the NBA pulled its 2017 All-Star Game from Charlotte, NC after North Carolina <\/span><a data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=en&#038;q=https:\/\/www.allstarweekendneworleans2017.com\/faqs&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1487448471395000&#038;usg=AFQjCNFG8TYf3WzcO7vFjqOUa9_-UaQc2g\" href=\"https:\/\/www.allstarweekendneworleans2017.com\/faqs\" target=\"_blank\">specifically because<\/a> lawmakers refused to repeal the harmful, discriminatory HB2. Despite the NBA\u2019s repeated warnings that it would have to consider moving the high-profile game out of the state if the anti-LGBTQ law was not repealed, the state\u2019s General Assembly neglected to act to repeal HB2. The 2017 All-Star Game will be played this weekend in New Orleans.<\/p>\n<p><span>In a statement, an NBA spokesperson said, \u201censuring the environment where those who participate and attend are treated fairly and equally,\u201d is a key factor in the league\u2019s decision-making process when selecting sites for the All-Star Game and others.

By making it illegal for transgender people in Texas to be afforded access to facilities consistent with their identity, it opens them up to increased discrimination and harassment as they simply <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=grq0&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">live<\/a> their everyday lives.
