NASCAR: "We will not embrace nor participate in exclusion or intolerance," said NASCAR, which is based in Florida and North Carolina. "We are committed to diversity and inclusion within our sport and therefore will continue to welcome all competitors and fans at our events in the state of Indiana and anywhere else we race."
Starbucks: (SBUX) The coffee chain was the latest big name brand to publicly condemn the law on Monday.
"We join with others opposing any state or federal legislation that permits discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity and encourage policymakers everywhere to embrace equality," Starbucks said in a statement.
Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy: Malloy took the unusual step Monday of signing an executive order forbidding state-funded travel to Indiana, saying his administration is "sending a message that discrimination won't be tolerated."
Apple (AAPL, Tech30) CEO Tim Cook: In an op-ed published Sunday, Cook said such laws are "very dangerous" and contrary to America's founding principles.
"On behalf of Apple, I'm standing up to oppose this new wave of legislation," wrote Cook, who came out as gay last year.
Angie's List (ANGI) CEO Bill Oesterle: The proposed campus expansion project in Indianapolis is "on hold" following the bill's passage.
PayPal co-founder Max Levchin: Opposing the law is "a basic human decency issue," Levchin told CNN.
"I'm asking my fellow CEOs to look at how they're thinking about their relationship with the state and evaluate it in terms of the legislation that's getting signed into law," he said.
Yelp (YELP) CEO Jeremy Stoppelman: Yelp will "make every effort" to expand its corporate operations in states that do not have such laws on the books. "These laws set a terrible precedent that will likely harm the broader economic health of the states where they have been adopted."
Salesforce (CRM, Tech30) CEO Marc Benioff: The law is an "outrage," he said, and that his company will "dramatically reduce" its investments in Indiana.
Eli Lilly (LLY): "We certainly understand the implications this legislation has on our ability to attract and retain employees. Simply put, we believe discriminatory legislation is bad for Indiana and for business."
Eli Lilly employs more than 11,700 workers in Indiana, mostly in Indianapolis.
NBA, WNBA, Indiana Pacers and Indiana Fever: "The game of basketball is grounded in long established principles of inclusion and mutual respect. We will continue to ensure that all fans, players and employees feel welcome at all NBA and WNBA events in Indiana and elsewhere."
NCAA: "We are especially concerned about how this legislation could affect our student-athletes and employees."
Gen Con: The people that run the video game convention said the law would "factor into our decision making on hosting the convention in the state of Indiana in future years."
Gen Con brought 56,000 people to the state last year, according to CEO Adrian Swartout.

@Regina Fong I didn't know Cruz drank from the birther kool-aid! That's great!
Isn't it though?
Republicans are already trying to spin this as "Oh, so now liberals care about eligibility!" Like we're the bad guys.
No, douchebros, liberals care about pointing out the disgusting mind-blowing hypocrisy, as always. We aren't contesting his eligibility like you did with Obama. We're just reminding you how stupid it was then and how you are deliberately ignoring it now that it's your guy.
And that just stings so much they have to make up a story about how we're so mean.
This is spite for what happened with W. winning the 200 election. They think they're doing the exact same thing that the Democrats did.

So these people with deeply held religious beliefs will also decline to do business with anyone breaking other aspects of Levitical law?
no, see, when jesus came he made it so we only have to listen to the old testament rules that are convenient for us
Look, I hate to rain on the parade here, but
Romans 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.
It's in the New Testament too. It's not just Leviticus.
In fact, it makes more sense that it's drawn from the New Testament (with a foundation in Leviticus), because you don't get all the silly don't touch a thing that a woman on her period touched.

I have to say I'm really disappointed that a law like this is something that a state level official can even get away with writing, much less passing and signing into law, but I'm also really proud and a little bit surprised at how loud and unanimous the backlash against it is.

Northeast alliance begins to form. No one wants to let in New Hampshire. New Hampshire reminds everyone else that while they might leech on our infrastructure, we rely on them for our cheap vacation homes and purchase of hilariously dangerous fireworks. They are allowed in on the condition that they are not invited to smaller, more intimate parties.

I totally disagree with this because it implies a kind of "both sides were just as bad, both sides at fault" bullshit
when a clique of high school mean girls literally make slaves of a substantial number of other students and rely upon those slaves as their primary store of wealth and economic output and make that slaveholding a vital part of their culture and personal identity then AND ONLY THEN would what winky is saying make sense

Damn, that's hot.
Are you sure this was Jesus telling us not to be gay? Because it makes me want to have sex with men.

You know what I mean, he technically won the election. That's why we had President George W. Bush from 2000-2008, rather than President Al Gore.
on the one hand, it's cool that the electorate of Indiana is facing some backlash for voting in Republicans
but on the other the elected Republicans in Indiana aren't any worse than the ones in Texas or Kansas or any other red state
That's true, but I bet this causes a lot of those Republicans to pause for at least a second before trying the same thing.

It is questionable if he won enough districts in Florida legitimately to have won via the college.
W won by an election of 5-4, supreme court, voting on party lines.
Which is fine - he won. The whole thing was a total clusterfuck and we really needed to move on and get things going.
