Heard your news was fake.

Wonder if any reg violations occurred. Regardless of side, this whole 'social' advocacy by corporations is annoying, to say the least. I don't care if you like Trump or Sanders, shut your mouth about it and make me some shoes (in America plz)!

Don't care.

Way to go Tennessee. Lets loss businesses!!!!!!. Jesus taught inclusion and to love your neighbor. But Tennessee lawmakers know better than the Lord.

Predator capitalists supporting you What a pride

That's great and kudos for doing the right thing. Oh and you're taxes are still going up though. Sanders2020

Barf where is Nike’s letter opposing child and slave labour Poor working conditions

Notably absent is a statement from CMA. They just awarded a CMA to Lil NAS X

Why not use the lobbyist in Washington to get this done .... they are quite effective.

Amazon treats their employees like shit, but hey, at least Amazon is woke!

Have they spoken about the peaceful religious terrorist countries in the Middle East

What does slave labor love gays so much for?

Advocating Sodom and Gomorrah!!! We all sin differently, may Lord have mercy.

Good for the 150 companies speaking out against hate. If we don't embrace diversity, then we are supporting division. Shame on the state of Tennessee. If you want progress, VoteBlue2020!

Will Nike, Amazon and AA stop selling in Tennessee?

Amazing how they don't see the irony of ganging up on a state. And I assume they've stopped doing business overseas?

I love a corporation that signal boosts having sex with your butthole.

This is dumb. Of course it’s better for children to grow up in normal families. I say this because we all know they will at some point face ridicule for their parents. I wish it wasn’t this way but it is. It places an unnecessary burden on the children.

Smoke. These company are criminals.

I don’t have the time or energy to read what this disgusting state is once again trying to do . Then your country has the nerve to talk about other countries who are treating ppl like shit! Are you proud America at what you have become ?

How noble of them. How many still do business in country’s that kill people that are LGBTQ? This is all for show and people will eat this up here in the USA

Nice!!

Well done Tennessee!

Wait wait wait- ‘’before you go on with the virtue signaling, “wtf is an anti lgbtq law mean?” its likely some meaningless nothing

Those lawmakers should have been aborted.

Of course it's Tennessee lmao

Good!

Cool. Are those companies going to stop using child labor and sweatshops paying people pennies on the dollar in Third World countries? No, I didn’t think so.

Love to see it
