An October conference has become the first to pull out of Indianapolis due to controversy over the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) announced Monday they are pulling their 2015 Women's Conference from the city in response to the legislation Governor Mike Pence signed into law last week. The conference was scheduled from October 9-11 at the JW Marriott.
"The 1.6 million members of AFSCME cannot in good conscience make such a sizable financial investment in Indiana knowing that women and men in that state are deliberately being targeted for discrimination," the organization said in a release.

So what do you suppose is about to happen when the next pastor or priest refuses to marry two homosexuals?
Pray America is waking
Hey, they must have the conference in Indiana. They can’t pull out because they don’t agree with Indiana’s behavior!
A few of the schools around here have stopped serving pork or other haram food in their cafeterias. Funny how some religions flourish and others are told to be silent and change their beliefs.
I’m sure that will hurt... NOT!
Here’s the question that I’ve been asking:
If homosexuals have found SOOOOO much acceptance in society today, as the queers keep telling us, why must they still force the tiny vestige of people who disagree with them to comply?
Not too long ago the SCOTUS ruled that a muslim inmate can grow his beard due to his religion and yet a Christians is told he should bake a wedding cake in which goes against his religion.
The homostapo is the new Romans who want to wage war and then eradicate Christianity from this country even though this country was founded on it and the reason why the pilgrims came here was freedom of religion.
Now that religion is being taken away as is the 1st amendment with the help of the media who is trying to get as many voices out there to put down IN as if they are the majority
churches need to tell their flock this weekend to get rid of Apple products, to call Apple and their reps and say enough is enough with this discrimination against Christians or anyone who opposes this homosexual agenda
Big loss. A bunch of parasitic union goons aren’t going to trash the city and piss all over the streets.
I hope they have to pay a Huge cancellation fee and the new place is twice as expensive ,LOL
They will get sued and they will pay. They have a contract and it will be enforced.
But wait. Not to be outdone by the FemiNazi’s over Augusta having no women members at the time. Watch for gay groups call for moving the “Indianapolis” 500 to another state. Remember Liberals called for moving The Masters? Shhh, Augusta National owns it.
good question and why if homosexuals were accepted by most people do they have to sue, get special rights, and even their movies are a flop from Hollywood. i.e broke back mountain and even on Netflix the queer crap is only rated one star while good family movies are always the highest rated?
On the homosexual websites they have places where homosexuals can go on vacation and what businesses they should spend their money in and yet they also tell each other what Christian places not to spend money. Of course they only go there if they know they can sue and act as a victim again.
Of all the problems we have in the world and the homosexuals become drama queens again. PATHETIC
I’m sick of this crap by the homosexuals and them acting like babies. We have real problems in the world and the country was founded on freedom of religion.
Another manufactured drama queen issue to take the attention away from more pressing issues like Clinton wiping her server clean when she was asked for it or helping Iran to get nukes or even the middle east burning due to a failed foreign policy.
GOOD...
Now cancel the taxpayer-supported Indiana Black Expo, and Indy can use 10% of it’s policing budget for something else...
There’s a reason that so many homosexuals major in drama in college.
I am certain the JW Marriott in Indianapolis will sue and win for breech of contract.

For many true Christians, doing business with homosexuals that supports their deathstyle is profoundly immoral. It goes against their conscience. It’s similar to being forced to do business with murderers, since God prescribed the same punishment for both behaviors.
And it’s because our formerly obedient and therefore blessed, rich nation is no longer obedient, God’s blessings have been withdrawn and we’re now teetering on the brink of bankruptcy.
So those who say that homosexuality is a “victimless” crime are morons. The whole nation is paying for the depravity of 1-2% of the population, and the more depraved the populace becomes in supporting that abomination, the more divine wrath will fall on us.
Translation: Our nation has gone stark raving insane, inviting horrendous punishment. We collectively deserve it.
Christians should not attend and quit the union, then.
Prostitution in those cities will probably starve!
Burn the witch, burn the witch!
