Clicktivism? Ranting on the internet? Apart from that, I don't think there's any effective way for us to make a difference, because dirty foreigners are not allowed to meddle in the affairs of sovereign states.

I'm sure some googling would come up with exports from Indiana that you can boycot at your local supermarket. Also, publicly adress the supermarket manager about selling products from anti gay land.

Now what does Indiana export? Indians?

[Urist Imiknorris]

"Export" is putting it nicely, but I think that was a couple of centuries ago.

What do you guys think what would be the best way for a non-USA person to oppose Indiana?

I mean I guess with all the doom and gloom here this is probably not the best place to ask, but still...

Wikipedia and census.gov suggest that the largest foreign export of Indiana are pharmaceutical products; followed closely by industrial products along the lines of "GEAR BOXES FOR MOTOR VEHICLES", "CIVILIAN AIRCRAFT, ENGINES, AND PARTS", and "COMPRESSION-IGNTN INT COMBUSTION PISTON ENGIN" (taken directly from Census website). Domestically, they also produce agricultural products. Probably corn. Try boycotting corn and everything that contains corn.

Barring that, political pressure might work. It's done wonders before.

Indiana already has a law that allows businesses to deny service for any reason (including no reason), doesn't it? A number of states do. If Indiana is one of them, then this new law changes nothing aside from causing a clusterfuck of epic proportions, and is basically just shitposting IRL.

The United States is the world's largest producer and exporter of corn, and Iowa, Illinois, and Nebraska account for almost half of that production.

Next thing you know, Putin starts arming seperatist forces in Indiana.

edit: oh wait, forgot about the second amendment. No need, they are already armed.

And he wants to be running for President of the United States, much like Rick Perry who fought against gays as the governor of Texas ordering his Attorney General to fight against decriminalizing "sodomy" (consensual sex between two gay adults) in Lawrence v. Texas (2003)

See, this is immeasurably important so please listen. A fundamental law of the universe is Newton's 3rd: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Concerning gay and minority rights, it has happened before; it is happening now; it shall happen again. Whenever equality wins, bigotry will push back Bowers v. Hardwick (1985), etc. When Lawrence v. Texas (2003) effectively decriminalized being gay and Hawaii even talked about legalizing gay marriage they went nuts opposing it. Massive state constitutional amendments were passed in several states. Now, it's becoming clear those constitutional amendments are being struck down as unconstitutional and so....

What do you think the equal and opposite reaction to this action will be? The Indiana Law with others soon to follow, and more anti gay, "but I'm not anti gay" political candidates....

[MetalSlimeHunt]

I don't think the laws of motion apply to politics.

[Angle]

Yeah, don't worry so much. This is just the frantic last gasps of a dying cause. History is on our side. It will likely continue to be difficult and unpleasant for you for some time yet, but I have no doubt things will continue to improve.

[Truean]

They do. Inertia, try getting anything done....

They don't have anti-tank weapons, artillery, or armored vehicles.

[Angle]

Yeah. I hate to be that guy, but the weapons available in America are only really dangerous to other civilians. The stuff you'd need to, for example, fight the government is pretty much non existent.
