Hey Dan, what about the other 19 states that have religious freedom laws?

Including his home state of Illinois.

Question: will the NFL say they will no longer accept bids for the Super Bowl at Lucas Oil Stadium or no longer hold the NFL Combine in Indianapolis? Or the Verizon IndyCar Series organizers no longer sanctioning the Indianapolis 500? These two are where the rubber meets the road in terms of this hot-button issue.

Exactly!

Just like with the CHic-Fil-A nonsense lets show them with our money that we refuse their intolerance of our God-given rights!!

Chicago-based rock band Wilco has canceled a show planned for May 7 in Indianapolis, Indiana, because of the anti-gay "religious freedom" bill signed into law by Gov. Mike Pence (R) last week.

It's their loss. Or maybe they weren't selling any tickets anyway. Good way to save face.

These laws just give the opportunity for a hearing, and in most cases tehe business loses. The whole thing is boguz.

Lol, wilco. Self-imagined working man’s heroes and dangerously effective soporific.

Wilco gives its support to the Gaystapo. I’ve heard ‘em; not impressed.

Shouldn't he signing an executive order banning his own RFRA?

But there is the new Leftie talking point. States like CT do have RFRA but they also have state laws banning discrimination against homos. IN does not have such a law banning discrimination.

Brewer backed down when McCain denounced the bill and Romney tweeted against it.

There was talk of business pressure to veto the religious freedom bill last year and then AZ Gov. Brewer’s veto last year along with the loud and powerful reaction to Indiana’s bill bears that out.

We have a Wilco Farm Supply store in my town - pretty new, like 2 years old. I just bought some gardening gloves in there. It’ll be my last purchase.

The offender in this case isn't Wilco Farm Supply, it's Wilco -- a rock band.
