Great story. One small correction - Pat Haden is the Athletic Director at the University of Southern California, not the University of South Carolina. Thanks.

And also won a Heisman trophy there. Heās Southern Cal to the bone.
-Edited to be correct. Hayden, didnāt win a Heisman at Southern Cal. He did, however, win 2 national titles and star at quarterback for the LA Rams.

Good for him. Iām getting tired of reading how ādisappointedā some of these groups are. If they havenāt been listening to Pence and the Indiana legislatureā¦let me paraphrase: They contend theyāve done nothing wrong, and everyone is just making a big mountain out of a molehill. They feel theyāre the ones that have been victimized by the bad press. Thatās all these groups need to understand.
Enough of the disappointment! Stand up like this guy and make some affirmative statement in favor of gay rights and definitively moving out of IN until this law is repealed. This Governor has no real intention to clarify a fucking thing, and the overwhelming ultra-conservative legislature in Indiana sees nothing objectionable about this ugly and odious law.
Now. Make your next move corporate America. Ball is in your court.

We mainstream GOPers finally got the battle we really want! Can we work some more rape into this though? Can we deport some children while weāre at it? Can we front burner this now that we are running the show?

You people are misrepresenting the law.
It allows you to withhold services to gay people. But you arenāt allowed to openly kill them.
See, thereās a difference.

And this is the problem the anti-gay bigots face, nearly every gay is a member of a loving family that is mostly straight. It is easy for a father or mother to jump to the defense of his or her son or daughter.

Wow. Mr. Haden, thank you. On behalf of all the other gay sons (and daughters and all others in the LGBTQ Community), thank you so much. Support like yours means so much more ā itās not only the right thing to do but itās personal. Yes, money talks and it always will, but your son is one fortunate guy. Good fortunes to you.

Well stated!
The conservatives are fighting against a faceless opponent, the Gay. They forget the real people that their discrimination affects.
Maybe the least outspoken in all of this is the Gay community that have gained so much support that they can just let the Penceās of the world destroy themselves.
The religious nuts are doing unnecessary damage to themselves and donāt have near the social backing as the Gays now do. Gay is a natural thing, religious zealotry is an acquired disease.

Iām a Buckeye fan and have always disliked USC. However, Iām ordering a fricking USC jersey and customizing it with āHadenā on the back. Kudos Pat for stepping up to the plate!
