The lawmakers in Indiana have passed a bill that they say would protect religious business owners from being forced to do business with individuals who are in opposition to their religious beliefs – essentially legally protecting business owners and their desire not to be involved in gay weddings.

Governor Mike Pence has taken a lot of heat from people for his stance on many important issues in the state recently. However, this newest bill has the largest, longest-running gaming convention, Gen Con, threatening to relocate their convention to another location outside of Indianapolis if Pence signs the bill into law. With 56,000 attendees last year alone, it is projected that Gen Con results in more than $50 million annually surrounding its yearly gathering at the Indiana Convention Center.

“Legislation that could allow for refusal of service or discrimination against our attendees will have a direct negative impact on the state’s economy, and will factor into our decision making on hosting the convention in the state of Indiana in future years,” said Adrian Swartout, owner and CEO of Gen Con LLC, in a letter sent to Gov. Pence hours after Indiana lawmakers sent the measure to his desk.
