First of all we don't develop legislation based purely on popularity, if that were true women & blacks wouldn't be voting. If these boycotts are so ineffective then why did Indiana change course.

Amen. Your local NBA and NHL teams depend on these events. In Nashville, when the Boss played, just like at any event at Bridgestone Arena, the Preds get about a third of the action. Multiply that by say 200 plus nights full of non hockey or basketball, and its megabucks. Add in the public authority running it has shown they need events the vast majority of nights or they run deficits and taxes on all are raised.
Meanwhile the voices wanting the discriminatory laws are tax EXEMPT.
So eventually the gov't remembers who is paying and listens to their voices. Not the leeches screaming from the tax exempt institution.

I don't care what he does or doesn't do. He is free to do as he pleases. I'm not a fan of guilt by association though.
I saw where Cindy Lauper said she wasn't going to deprive her fans that had nothing to do with any of this and as opposed to boycotting would hold a LGBT fundraiser.

We do, most of the time, develop legislation based on popularity, Unless the courts strike down the laws or impose them.

Let's base legislation on FELONY indecent exposure charges, then. Minor victims and/or school grounds exposure constitutes a FELONY charge.
Men can't go into multiple occupancy girls'/women's restrooms/changing/locker/shower rooms and expose their penises. Neither can those who claim they're "transgender" but still have penises.
BTW, anyone convicted of such indecent exposure HAS to register as a sex offender, for life.
