Why can't the list be truthful? We could unintentionally screw a company for nothing if they are not out of Indiana.

That person just threw a bunch of companies up, it appears. I wouldn't trust it.

Steak and Shake for at least a week. If they can't get the list right, I refuse to boycott anything. This is getting painful seeing innocent companies caught up in Indiana that are not even in Indiana. Off to Shake and Steak for dinner. I revoke my boycott.

The office in Houston must be a regional HQ.

The city govt lobbied against the bill. The Mayor just called on the state legislature to make sexual orientation a protected class - and he warned that all receiving city $$ were required to uphold city ordinances (which protect against discrimination for sexual orientation). The City-County is meeting tonight to craft a public response - the majority of members, I believe, have already gone on board to indicate that they fear that the state law will trump local ordinances and thus the protection of citizens.

Most of the travel bans will hit Indianapolis. This back lash is like nothing I have ever seen before (and it is important!)

But maybe consider a little clemency for the city of Indy - as its leadership is not standing silently by (like our former gov. now Purdue Pres Mitch Daniels. - come to think of it I haven't heard anything from Evan Bayh, either.)

I will not go this week and will not go by myself for awhile but I wont perminately boycott a place I love to go to. However, this may all be over by Easter anyway with all the pushback the Governor is getting.
