That said, the law has very little support on the ground in many parts of the state, and rather than boycott Indiana, it would be nice if progressives in other states would support the progressives here rather than paint the entire state as evil.

This. My husband lives in Indiana, and there a lot of awful things being said about the entire state that just simply aren't true. Pence singing this bill made the perception of this state rewind.
This article from The Atlantic explains how this law is different from other states' religious freedom bills.
