In the wake of Gov. Mike Pence (R-IN) signing a law that essentially allows discrimination against gay and lesbian people in the state, companies are starting to consider pulling their business from the state.
Though Pence has tried to insist that the law is about religious liberty and not discrimination against LGBT discrimination in the state, that doesnt seem to wash with many in the state including the Chamber of Commerce, which has said the law will bring unwanted attention to the state. Many high-profile companies and entities that host major events in the state are starting to reconsider their business.

to do with a state that embraces this bigotry. It's stupid, ignorant and antithetical to any rational religion.
