NCAA: Oppose a "license to discriminate" against LGBT Hoosiers!

The Final Four is heading to Indianapolis, where Governor Mike Pence just signed RFRA into law—a harmful bill that allows individuals and businesses to discriminate against LGBT Hoosiers under the guise of religious beliefs.

Businesses and major events in Indiana—including Gen Con—have already come out strongly against this "license to discriminate" law, even saying that RFRA will cause them to relocate from Indiana.

Sign our petition now calling on the NCAA to take a stand against RFRA before the Final Four begins. Add your name and then share with your friends on Facebook and Twitter!

I am normally opposed to protests involving tangential events.

But I think it is called for here during these games. What this State has done surpasses the neutral quality of the games.

Indiana needs to be embarrassed.
