I would think that BTC consulted with their corporate legal department before extending that kind of policy. Reality on the ground could change, of course, but a few articles I've read say that few such suits are expected to actually be filed--it's more that the threat of them is expected to serve as a deterrent.

I think in terms of places like Texas and Florida, at this point, as they say in German, „Da ist Hopfen und Malz verloren“. I don't think all the liberals in the world moving there and trying to change the political and social climate is going to help. You can't fix stupid. If you have liberal values and live in a place like that and have kids, time to provide them with the tools and skills that will enable them to leave. (Also, liberal places like Boston and NYC and California really need to fix their housing crisis rather than playing beggar-thy-neighbor with red states--a lot of liberals moved to red states in the last 20 years specifically to escape high housing costs, and that's a big part of what's driving the blue shift.)
