"I wouldn’t move to that state, because its policies would be so antithetical to my beliefs. I wouldn’t want my tax dollars supporting the state. If I had to pass through it, I’d avoid purchasing anything, or I’d limit my purchases to the bare essentials."

"If a state makes it clear that LGBT folks aren’t welcome, then as an LGBT ally, I’d also feel unwelcome. I wouldn’t feel comfortable spending any time or money in the state. Going there would be like stepping back in time to the Jim Crow era of the 1950s. It’s crazy and ludicrous."

"Yes, I’d do my best to avoid the state. If I had to travel through it to get to my destination, I’d spend as little time there as possible. I’d be eager to get out. As long as people aren’t hurting anyone, and they’re doing what makes them happy, they should be free to do so."

"Yes, I’d definitely avoid visiting that state. Most of my travel is out of the country, so it wouldn’t be a big sacrifice for me. And the states I do like to visit wouldn’t do such a thing, states like California and New York. I believe strongly in equality. If a state can do that to LGBT people, we’re all at risk."
