So I'm not as strongly opposed to this law as many other. Here's my reasoning:
1. I don't feel any great desire to patronize bigots
2. Universal service laws mean that bigots can't out themselves
3. That means I have a very hard time telling who is who
4. If enough people stop patronizing a business owned by a bigot it will do damage where it really counts; bank account
5. This might actually be a VERY STRANGE way to dissuade people from their backwards views
Of course, it might not go that way at all.
But seeing as how people are talking about not hosting events and not doing business in Indiana, I am pretty optimistic about the possibility.
It's fairly natural to try and defy laws you disagree with (http://niemann.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/10/11/the-legend-of-the-potato-king/ http://niemann.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/10/11/the-legend-of-th...). But it's also fairly natural to change your mind when you have a good reason: declining sales or bankruptcy.
