The San Francisco Convention and Visitors Bureau CEO says that people shouldn't boycott the state of Arizona just because of its newly passed immigration law.

When California's antigay Proposition 8 passed, Joe D'Alesssandro says, the bureau still encouraged people to come to California, despite numerous threats of a boycott.

"We told them they were going to hurt the very LGBT businesses they were trying to support," he told the San Francisco Chronicle.
