SF is now boycotting most of the United States

Jokes aside, as an European watching from the outside the US seems extremely segregated atm and no good can come out of this. Even if I don't agree with laws that prohibit lgbt-people from living their lives or women to get an abortion this feels a bit childish.
I've been in California and I have also been in Utah which seems on other side of the spectrum. While I am not religious, Utah seemed a lot nicer to me with less societal problems.
I think the different states and their views on the world could probably learn a lot from each other.
How did it get to such a state that so many places find it acceptable to pass things criminalising LGBT or abortions?

No one’s marriage fell apart because same-sex couples began marrying. No one’s marriage fell apart because different races could marry (except when that marriage was shaky anyway, segregation by day and integration by night it was said). No one’s getting hurt by LBGT+ being able to participate without worry.
In general boycotting means to not consume the products of a specific provider and it feels like the folks who wrote this law have a moral obligation to revisit it if they are willing to identify that they have misgivings about the law as written.
