There was a whole list of 9 or so major companies on FR yesterday.
Apple Corporation, Top of the list
Can I ask a stupid question?
How does the left decide on which issues, and which places, to have meltdowns and call for boycotts and such?
Many other states have these laws. As does the federal government. The federal version of this law was cited in the Hobby Lobby case, so we know these laws are constitutional.
Until late last week, the left never said anything about these religious freedom laws. Or took any action against the other states with these laws. Why is it that right now, and only against Indiana, that good liberals are supposed to be outraged and have a meltdown over this issue at this place at this time? Why wasn’t it an issue before?
This, I believe, is the left’s opening salvo for the 2016 elections. “Republicans hate gays.” They will whup it up no end, even though Bill Clinton signed a similar law AND DC has had the same law on the books since 1996.
The band wilco (I know... “who?”) cancelled an upcoming concert in the state. Are these boycotters totally unaware of their hypocrisy?
All I’ve heard on FOX News since I woke up this morning is how the Religious Freedom Act is going to “hurt jobs and the economy” in Indiana because of the actions of the sexual deviants and their supporters like “Angie’s List”. Can someone please tell me the difference between what the sexual deviants and their buttpals in the state controlled “media” are doing and the GOP shutting down the government to get government spending under control.
an say that I will never ever use Angie’s List for anything — ever.
Can’t make it any easier for you than this:

Honorable Mike Pence
Governor of Indiana State House Room 206 Indianapolis, Indiana 46204-2797
Dear Governor Pence: Regardless of the original intention of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, we are deeply concerned about the impact it is having on our employees and on the reputation of our state. All of our companies seek to promote fair, diverse and inclusive workplaces. Our employees must not feel unwelcome in the place where they work and live.
As we seek to attract and retain great talent from Indiana and around the world, it is critical that we make it clear that Indiana is the welcoming state we all believe it to be. As leaders in the Indiana business community, we call on you to take immediate action to ensure that the Religious Freedom Restoration Act will not sanction or encourage discrimination against any residents or visitors to our state by anyone.
By immediately enacting new legislation that makes it clear that neither the Religious Freedom Restoration Act nor any other Indiana law can be used to justify discrimination based upon sexual orientation or gender identity, our state’s elected leaders can provide the reassurance to the people of our state, our nation and the world that is needed at this critical moment.
Sincerely,
William S. Oesterle Chief Executive Officer Angie’s List, Inc.
