This is legislative trolling: if it were to become law, anybody who
suffered any adverse effect could sue in federal court and the law would be
thrown out as unconstitutional. The GA state legislature knows this so they
passed it to pander to social conservatives and/or make it a high profile
issue in an election year. Since the bill is nonsense the governor should
veto it as a waste of time but he needs to show that signing it will have
negative consequences and the threatened boycott serves that purpose.
