The mayors of four West Coast cities say they’re lifting bans imposed on city-funded travel to Indiana after changes were made to that state’s religious objections law to make clear it can’t be used to discriminate.

“We stand united as San Franciscans to condemn Indiana’s new discriminatory law, and will work together to protect the civil rights of all Americans including LGBT individuals.”

SAN FRANCISCO — Mayor Ed Lee will restore all of the nearly $8 million in federal HIV/AIDS funds that the city expects to lose in the fiscal year beginning July 1.
