People have long memories over what Indiana has done. The youth will remember this, many [View all]

talented people will remember this. Many people do not like discrimination in all walks of life, any type of discrimination.

I recall well trying to attract employees to some states. It's not an easy task if a state has a bad reputation. They just refuse to go. And that will last, many potential employees check out states quite well. Many do not want to live in a sea of discrimination and lack of diversity.

Times are changing. Those states clinging to backwardness are going to be in for a shock, they will not be part of the economic future of the 21st century.
