I would like a list so I too can use my financial clout to no longer support these businesses.

There was a whole list of 9 or so major companies on FR yesterday.

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?

Isn’t Apple usually the top of the list?

I thought the list had long since passed 9. I might be wrong but I thought we were up over that.

It’s happening now because it’s a convienient pretext for advancing the narrative.

I have found that when we have stories like this....the liberal hysteria stories.....we usually get a teeny little story out that the Obombo Administration has done something they need cover for.

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.

Its a conservative state and they finally see these laws as a threat to what has always been their true goal which is absolute dominance of the culture all the way down to its roots. The history of leftist movements worldwide has been clear. They have no desire to coexist. There is a reason why they have a respect for Islam.

Alinsky tactic by the leftists. They picked a target, isolated it, and are hammering away at Indiana with every leftist meme in the book. Indiana and Pence as a consequence are just a target of opportunity.

I guess I wonder then, how did the left decide that now was the time, and Indiana the place, to start bitching about these religious freedom laws. If they want to be intellectually honest, they need to boycott all the states which have these laws, not just one state.

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.

They desperately need to hold on to the White House in 2016, so they have to motivate their base and the millenials to vote Democrat.

If Apple CEO Tim Cook is such a front and center spokesman for all things homosexual today, why was it such a big deal that a co-anchor on CNBC accidentally outed him as a homosexual almost a year ago?

Why didn't he have the guts to out himself?

If he is so proud to be homosexual

Who and/or what is his wife/husband? Does he have a partner or just cruise bathhouses, rest areas on the interstate, homo-porn websites?

Many other states have these laws. As does the federal government.

The other laws and the federal law prevent the government from interfering with a person's right to practice their religion. The Indiana law goes a step further and prevents indivudals from interfering with another person's right to practice their religion.

And based on that, they need to whip them into a frenzy. And it doesn’t matter if the issue used is even true. Even though these religious freedom laws are not violating homosexual rights, the left has decided that they do. So they decided to spread the big lie that this is what’s happening.
