Members of Arizona's LGBTQ community want the National Football League to pull the 2023 Super Bowl out of Arizona.
That call is in response to last month's passage of two bills. One prohibits transgender athletes from competing in girls' sports. The other prohibits gender-altering surgery for anyone under the age of 18.
When it comes to LGBTQ tourism, Arizona benefits greatly. Weather, scenery, and acceptance add up to tens of millions of dollars to the Arizona economy every year. But Helfgot says fallout from the transgender bills will have consequences."There is a lot of economic power being brought to bear and it's a powerful message. But the message remains the same, these laws are toxic and they need to go," Helfgot says.
