Indiana Hires PR Firm To Rebuild Image After 'Religious Freedom' Fiasco

[Lakhota]

WASHINGTON -- The state of Indiana has hired a global public relations firm to help rebuild its image in the wake of national criticism that state politicians were hostile to the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.

The Indiana Economic Development Corporation, which leads the state's efforts to attract and retain businesses, has retained Porter Novelli for an undisclosed sum. The firm's task is to brand Indiana "as a welcoming place to live, visit and do business."

"Now more than ever, we want to remind the world that Hoosiers welcome everyone and that Indiana is a great place for individuals, entrepreneurs and businesses to reach their full potential," said Indiana Secretary of Commerce Victor Smith, who leads the IEDC. "That's why we are moving forward with this initiative together."

They should let it go. Being a bastion of religious freedom did them more good.

I see the same laws have decimated the economy of Connecticut. Oh, wait.
Why is this even news?

"Bastion of religious freedom"? That's fine - until it starts stepping on "Constitutional freedom" for all...

I can see the slogan now.

"Not everybody in Indiana misrepresents our pizza parlors, only a few liberal reporters."

It's as relevant as Steve Scalise's speaking engagements 20 years ago.

Really? Then why is Indiana spending millions on a PR firm to rebuild its image?

I don't know about funny,. But how much does this cost and who gets to pay for it? Tax payers!! It won't be cheap and if I were a tax payer of Indiana, I'd be pissed off. Cause you know the Republican party ain't gonna pay for it.
Or none of the other people telling Pence what a great idea this was, they aren't paying for this good will program
either.

Thank God your mom was around to clear all of this up. Make sure to have her call the leaders of Indiana, before they waste state money on PR. What a life saver your mom is.

Because governments like to waste money?

Seriously, the people that "care" about this have the attention span of a senile goldfish.

Yeah, weird statistical anomolies alert: Why was it such a fiasco for Indiana while Memories Pizza got so much money in such a short time that it had to stop donations?

And why if it's such a fiasco to stand for traditional marriage did the "Boycott A&E" Facebook page get over a million likes in less than a day? And why if it's such a fiasco to support traditional marriage/religious mandates forbidding the perversion of that covenant did lines wrap around the block at Chic-fil-a in SUPPORT of its CEO's stance opposing gay marriage?

This frank and obvious bullshit campaign using just plain lying and "custom-polling" "data" on behalf of the cult of LGBT has hit the end of the line.

Speaking of lines...

Things like this result from the moderate multiple personality disorder the american people as a whole have. (excluding hard core proponents on a given side). Americans want people to not exclude others, but when told government will enforce this, they shrink back. They disagree with people who want to be exclusive, but will come to their defense when they are attacked for that view. Its why they support businesses being inclusive, but are against government punishing people when they are not.
