On Indiana's new law and ideas how to fight it

First, let me say I don't have all the answers these are just mere suggestions for someone to take the rein and run with it.

I think a three or four pronged approach needs to be taken to fight against the law. As I stated in a few other threads recently a list of major events in 2015 and 2016 needs to be put together. A campaign to persuade the organizers and/or sponsors to move or cancel the event needs to take place. Other people have mentioned boycotting companies. I have seen some lists of organizations in Indiana. At the same time some of those organizations are highly supportive of LGBT rights and a different tact should be taken with those organizations. Letters to the editor of papers in Indiana would be another approach. Very few of them would get printed, but the paper itself is likely going to report if they are getting hit hard with LTE. Obviously the last one would be protests, which only some will be able to participate due to distance and time.

Different people would be able to help on different levels depending on where they live, what they buy, and how far they can travel. Even if most people can do two out of the four on average that would be good.

I hope someone runs with this and does something.
