Several businesses and organizations responsible for pumping
millions of dollars into Indiana’s economy were quick to condemn
Republican Gov. Mike Pence’s decision to sign a controversial
religious freedom bill into law Thursday, bolstering opponents’
warnings that the measure would ultimately damage the Hoosier’s
State’s reputation and economy.
Senate Bill 101, otherwise known as the Religious Freedom
Restoration Act (RFRA), quietly became law Thursday during a
private, closed-press signing ceremony. Modeled off of the
federal RFRA, which gained notoriety in the Supreme Court’s
Hobby Lobby ruling of last year, the new law will prohibit a
governmental entity from substantially burdening a person’s
religious beliefs, unless that entity can prove it’s relying on
the least restrictive means possible to further a compelling
governmental interest.
Supporters say the RFRA is designed to protect people’s
religious beliefs from unnecessary government intrusion. But
opponents argue the measure serves as a license to discriminate,
particularly against LGBT people, on religious grounds.
In the past week, a wide array of opponents put pressure on
Pence to veto the measure, including citizens, celebrities, tech
leaders and convention customers. Now that SB 101 is law, that
criticism doesn’t look to be dying down.
Mark Emmert, president of the National Collegiate Athletic
Association, said in a statement Thursday that the Indianapolis-
based NCAA was “especially concerned” about how the legislation
would affect student athletes and employees.
“We will work diligently to assure student athletes competing
in, and visitors attending, next week’s Men’s Final Four in
Indianapolis are not impacted negatively by this bill,” the
statement read. “Moving forward, we intend to closely examine
the implications of this bill and how it might affect future
events as well as our workforce.”
Emmert’s statement should concern Pence – not only because
Indianapolis is set to host next month’s Division 1 Men’s
Championship, but also because the NCAA could decide to move
several big money events set to take place in the Hoosier State
over the next year. Those include the 2015 Big Ten Football
Championship Game, scheduled for Dec. 5, the 2016 Women’s Final
Four, scheduled for April of next year, and the 2016 Olympic
Trials for diving. All three events are scheduled to take place
in Indianapolis.
With less than 10 days to go before the Men’s Final Four, it
would be impossible for the NCAA to relocate the championship
over concerns about the new law. However, the events scheduled
further in the future could be in jeopardy.
Business leaders, too, spoke out against Pence’s decision to
sign the RFRA Thursday. Max Levchin, cofounder of PayPal, CEO of
Affirm and chairman of Yelp, tweeted that the new law was
“unbelievable.”

What is happening in Indiana is pretty unbelievable. However
it’s dressed up, it’s a signal that discrimination is welcome in
this state.

Fuck you Marc Benioff. Take another HIV infected dick up your
asshole and die of AIDS you little bitch.
In an email to msnbc, Pence’s spokesperson said that the
governor had reached out personally to Benioff Thursday
afternoon to discuss the tech leader’s concerns. But as
reactions continued to pour in – more bad than good – it
appeared likely that Pence would have to have many more such
conversations.
“In our eyes, the law is entirely unnecessary,” said Kevin
Brinegar, CEO of the Indiana Chamber of Commerce, in a
statement. “The reactions to it are not unexpected or
unpredicted; passing the law was always going to bring the state
unwanted attention.”
Another potential downside to the law’s passage is lost revenue
from conventions. In a Facebook post, the group Christian Church
(Disciples of Christ) wrote that it was “sort[ing] through the
contracts, costs, and decisions around the 2017 General
Assembly,” set to take place in Indianapolis. That event is
expected to generate nearly $6 million, according to Visit Indy,
an organization that directs tourism to Indianapolis. Slightly
better news came from Adrian Swartout, CEO and owner of Gen Con
LLC, who said in a letter that he would honor Gen Con’s contract
to hold its annual gaming convention in Indianapolis through
2020. However, he left open the possibility of moving the multi-
million dollar convention elsewhere “in 2021 and beyond.”
“The message this legislation sends to tourists, Indy locals,
and the overall business community is one of exclusion,”
Swartout said.
Oh really? Isn't that what faggots are doing now? Forcing
exclusion of the right to differ in opinion to their pro-faggot
opinions only?
Fuck all you gay cunts.
