A state has every right to deny it's funds to another state and states many times sue one another over differences. The key here is this "A California statute that went into effect in January prohibits state-funded and state-sponsored travel to states with laws that authorize or require discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression or against same-sex couples or their families. Those travel restrictions apply to state agencies, departments, boards, authorities, and commissions, including an agency, department, board, authority, or commission of the University of California and California State University". They are not stopping anyone from going to these places, they are merely denying these states funds that they can otherwise spend elsewhere, while it means very little in actuality, it is a very big gesture showing the displeasure in these other states backwards thinking.

Well they certainly can do it, I guess the question I should of asked it should they?
