I hope GenCon mans up and goes somewhere else. -- nm - Tim Mar 26, 08:09 4
- Salesforce also said if passed they will abandon IN, and move the entire company they just purchased out of state -- nm - MDH Mar 26, 08:10 2
  - yup -- (link) - Ultron Mar 26, 08:20 1
    - Good for them. So great job Pence, you've pissed off Salesforce, Lilly, and all of your (good) Universities. Idiot. -- nm - MDH Mar 26, 08:23
- More importantly, the Final Four just became about something much different. -- nm - David Mar 26, 08:09
Congratulations, Indiana! You've made me feel like Tennessee is a politically reasonable environment! -- nm - David Mar 26, 07:54 1
- I wouldn't go that far. ;-) -- nm - Krusty Mar 26, 07:58
can you cliff notes this up for me? What does it mean? -- nm - groiny Mar 26, 07:54 2
- Right thinking Christains can now refuse service to the ungodly abominations known as homosexuals. -- nm - TWuG Mar 26, 07:55 1
  - oof, ok -- nm - groiny Mar 26, 07:58
I'd say people are weird but then watch Texas try to sign crap too. -- nm - Epiphany Mar 26, 07:53
ahhh so he just became the GOP front runner for 2016? -- nm - Jovian Mar 26, 07:52
Shame on him and everyone that supports this awful bill there and anywhere else it pops up. -- nm - Krusty Mar 26, 07:51 5
- Eli Lilly's team gave a great speech about how they need to lure great candidates to IN, and this makes it that much tougher. Didn't stop Pence :-( -- nm - MDH Mar 26, 08:08 4
  - This is so embarrassing. Is the next step signs that say, "Straights only"? Because that's what these laws feel like, Jim Crow for the gay - Krusty Mar 26, 08:15 3
    - It's a supreme court case waiting to happen, and they'll lose, and be pissed about liberal judges. -- nm - MDH Mar 26, 08:16 2
      - You have WAY more faith in SCOTUS than I do. They've shown little interest in making sexual orientation a protected - TWuG Mar 26, 08:19 1
        
        Sadly, I agree with you. We need to flip a few judges for that to happen. -- nm - Krusty Mar 26, 08:29
I'd love to see the Big 10 move the basketball tournament from there next year. It might be too late, but it would make a nice statement. -- nm - pmb Mar 26, 07:51 13
- One problem is, the laws are already in many of the places it might get moved to. Like Chicago. -- nm - Ultron Mar 26, 07:53 12
  - I'm actually not aware of that law in Chicago (or Illinois) though I can't swear it doesn't exist. But there could be other venues. Don't forget - pmb Mar 26, 07:55 10
    - I saw a blurb that there are already over 100 such laws in the country including Chicago, but I have yet to see a full list. -- nm - Ultron Mar 26, 07:57 9
      - Nothing would ever shock me, but it would be surprising since Chicago is such a distinctly "blue" city. -- nm - pmb Mar 26, 08:00 8
        
        Exactly. -- nm - Ultron Mar 26, 08:03 7
        
        "I just think this is a big misunderstanding. People don’t know this is the law in 30 states.” @GovPenceIN -- nm - Ultron Mar 26, 08:21 6
        
        So you decided to pile on to the wrong side. Good choice. - Krusty Mar 26, 08:42 5
        
        Rememebr, I am not in agreement. Just trying to present some of the info that is out there. - Ultron Mar 26, 08:45 4
        
        Oh, I totally didn't direct that you but the Gov. Sorry if it appeared that way. -- nm - Krusty Mar 26, 08:50 3
        
        Through so, just being sure. Did not want anyone reading now or later to possibly misread is all. - Ultron Mar 26, 08:54 2
        
        Yeah, sorry about that. -- nm - Krusty Mar 26, 09:12
        
        Through so? *Thought* so. -- nm - Ultron Mar 26, 09:11
  - I dont' get what they intend to do with the law? just tell people to get out of their stores? - Epiphany Mar 26, 07:54
