The passing of the Indiana Religious Freedom Restoration Act has seen a lot of outrage with many speaking out about its potential to be used to discriminate. The latest group to do so? Wilco. The band announced today via their Facebook that they are cancelling a show in Indianapolis in light of the act.
Businesses are fighting back as well, including Angie’s List, which is headquartered in Indiana, and Salesforce, as well as Apple CEO Tim Cook.
