If there are city laws that prevent discrimination and can be enforced, that may solve a lot of problems for events held within Indianapolis.

A lot of it depends on the language in the state law as written. Brad is right. State laws do typically trump local laws.

The cynic in me can't help but wonder if GenCon saw this as an attempt to get Indy to concede (or fix, or reduce costs, etc) on other things (more housing, better transportation options, cheaper access to the ICC).

But that is probably just me feeling more cynical than usual.

Just looked up: Indiana's GDP last year was $294 billion. In that context, losing GenCon's $50 million is insignificant in comparison, and isn't likely going to sway the state's decision.

GenCon is the only ones that have voiced their displeasure over this though. Just to name a few: Salesforce (who has stopped all travel to the state), Eli Lily, and NCAA. I haven't heard a single company has said this is good for Indiana. Last I checked sexual orientation is not a protected class in Indiana unlike some states (I am speaking in terms of employment). So discrimination is also possible in hiring practices.

They label it as satire, so no.

But as long as we are throwing satire out there...

Ahh that was not there when I read it. I could find no reference to a Dotty's Dress Den in indianapolis but figured I would check.

Poe's law, named after its author Nathan Poe,[1] is a literary adage which stipulates that without a clear indicator of an author's intended sarcasm it becomes impossible to tell the difference between an expression of sincere extremism and a parody of extremism.

Sartre sits in in a coffee shop and asks for a coffee without cream. The barista apologizes “Sorry, we don't have any cream. Can I offer you a coffee without milk instead?”

Did GenCon have any sort of policy on being inclusive? Or do they have one now?
