Add six time Tony Award-winning actress Audra McDonald to the list of big names who are pissed off at Indiana Gov. Mike Pence for singing a bill allowing businesses to discriminate against people on religious grounds.
On the phone w/@united so long I forgot what year it was, then saw the law Indiana Gov.Pence just signed & remembered…It's 1950 #NOHATE

.@GovPenceIN Some in my band are gay & we have 2 gigs in your state next month. Should we call ahead to make sure the hotel accepts us all?

.@GovPenceIN or could you maybe send us a list of where its okay for us to go? Might the law apply to me?(I'm black).

.@GovPenceIN or maybe I should fire my gay band members just to be on the safe side.

.@GovPenceIN Or MAYBE…we need to stick to singing in states that don't legislate hate?
— Audra McDonald (@AudraEqualityMc) March 26, 2015
.@GovPenceIN Or MAYBE I donate the money I make in your state while Im there to organizations that will combat your hateful legislation.

.@GovPenceIN Yep. That's what I'll do. Hey @HRC get ready for a little money coming your way from Indiana via me to you! Have at it!

Thanks to those who have made me aware of @freedom_indiana. I will definitely donate to them as well.
