“GenCon, the world’s biggest convention for tabletop gaming and a massive moneymaking machine for the State of Indiana, has responded to a bill that legalizes discrimination against LGBT customers by threatening to leave the state—and take their $50 million-a-year convention elsewhere.”

Gambling money is no good for Indiana or any state IMHO.

It’s board games, not gambling. People who stay up all night chugging mountain dew and rolling dice.

Gaming, not gambling...think Dungeons and Dragons and so forth...the only businesses that MIGHT be impacted would be fast food ‘restaurants’, pizza joints, and such...I hope this doesn’t make Sheldon Cooper cry.

GenCon isn’t about gambling! This is about board games and the like anything you would play on the table. Some people hear “gaming” and immediately think of gambling, my how they are so wrong. The very spirit of these games are for recreational use. You might think of Old Maid and Go Fish as card games, but they are also called tabletop games.

GenCon is a gaming convention. No 'g', no 'l'. Think nerds on parade.
