Now, it is Arkansas' turn:

Here's my question. Who introduced this bill in the Indiana legislature? Which Indiana legislators voted for it? Did they vote for it because there was a public referendum for them to do so?

Because unless this bill was favored by most of the population of the state, I really don't understand why people or corporations think boycotting is the answer. None of those politicians are going to be immediately affected - the guy selling popcorn in the stands at the NCAA game is.

Hey, everybody, do you recall that Arkansas' governor, Asa Hutchinson, said repeatedly that he would sign the bill the state legislature passed? Reportedly, his office on Tuesday said he'd sign it?

Well, forget those statements / promises, whatever you want to call them. He has somehow or other discovered that the bill needs some work. I guess this is what you'd call a road-to-Damascus moment for him. There's a new statement out :

Folks, I personally heart politicians with loudly stated convictions that can change so fast it'd make your head spin.

To be serious, I truly appreciate what Wal-Mart, Apple, Gap (which includes Banana Republic and Old Navy), the NACAA, and on and on, have said and done on this issue.
