Perhaps you should try to pass a law prohibiting discrimination against reward card holders.
No, only to the retailers that promote them.

People and corporations are more enlightened today - well at least the smart ones are. That law is really bad for the state's businesses - really, really bad.

It's that bad, huh? Really, really bad? Wow, that's bad. Thanks for enlightening us.

Those other 19 states that already adopted the RFRA (and the federal government) must be really screwed right now.

I fully support Indiana's law. It's about time this country fought back against the 2 percent of LGBT militancy.

If you disagree with that assessment, explain why so many business are so quick to distance themselves from the law.
Business owners never wanted that law. Bigots wanted that law.

On an article on CBC the governor stated he wanted assurances that the new law will not discriminate agaisnt LBGT people. Perhaps he is not on the same side as you on this law or else was misquoted.

Indiana governor wants changes to controversial religious objections law - World - CBC News

Indiana's governor said Tuesday that he wants legislation on his desk by the end of the week to clarify that a new religious-freedom law does not allow discrimination against gays and lesbians.
Gov. Mike Pence defended the measure as a vehicle to protect religious liberty but said he has been meeting with lawmakers "around the clock" to address concerns that it would allow businesses to deny services to gay customers.
The governor said he does not believe "for a minute" that lawmakers intended "to create a license to discriminate."

NASCAR as a corporation could show the majority of politicians a thing or two about pandering for profit.
