Today we are canceling all programs that require our customers/employees to travel to Indiana to face discrimination. http://t.co/SvTwyCHxvE

Sometimes, lessons have to be learned the hard way. The above tweet belongs to Marc Benioff, the CEO of Salesforce, a $4 billion software company.Thanks to that awful "religious freedom" bill which Indiana legislators passed and Gov. Mike Pence just signed, Safeforce has canceled its programs in the state.
I hope it hurts like hell.
And I have a feeling that this will be only the beginning.
Of less dollar-value, but perhaps greater long-term significance, the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) denomination is cancelling their general convention there, too! :-)
