FYI, IBM, the legislation is not “discriminatory”, it protects business owners from nanny government.

IBM has sent a letter to the governor of Louisiana warning that a pending religious freedom bill would create a hostile environment for the tech company’s employees.
“A bill that legally protects discrimination based on same-sex marriage status will create a hostile environment for our current and prospective employees, and is antithetical to our company’s values,” IBM vice president James Driesse wrote in a letter to Gov. Bobby Jindal.
“IBM will find it much harder to attract talent to Louisiana if this bill is passed and enacted into law,” Driesse said.
The letter asks Jindal to work with the state legislature to “ensure this legislation is not discriminatory.” IBM has made significant investments in Louisiana, including a technology services delivery center in Baton Rouge.[…]
Jindal, a potential Republican presidential candidate, said it’s a matter of liberty.
“I think we can have religious liberty without having discrimination,” he said earlier this month on NBC’s Meet the Press. “I think it’s possible to have both.”
