I think in general there's nothing to it. But the place that I question has to do with employment.
Would it be OK for someone to carte blanche not hire anyone from San Francisco because the city supports homosexuality? I suspect when I put it that way then the reverse question of "Is it OK for a company to carte blanche not hire anyone from North Carolina because of HB2" becomes a more difficult one to deny.
Did Paypal commit a CRA violation by refusing to hire North Carolina people because of HB2? Did Ringo commit a CRA violation by refusing to entertain fans, keeping in mind that hospitality facilities were the original target of the CRA? I don't know. But they are questions I'd like to have answered because there does seem to be a question about them.
Are you strong enough to challenge your own prejudices to arrive at an single principal that goes both ways?
