Dear Paizo,
I know that Gencon is a must for all gaming companies. I wouldn't ask you to boycott the convention based on the new Religious Freedoms bill that was signed recently. This bill essentially legalizes discrimination based on Religious Beliefs.
What I am suggesting is something publicly displayed at your booth. (Perhaps floor banners of your characters that you've created in Golarion who represent the LGBT community.) This obviously displayed with a "We support gender identity equality."
Please show your support for all of the gaming community.
As to attendees, please be careful which businesses you support while at the convention.
This obviously can go a step further and have pictures of all of your deities getting along with a statement like "we support diversity"

While I understand the sentiment of you post, I am surprised that you felt the need to ask this of Paizo, of all companies, who has shown a huge propensity towards an inclusive attitude.
But I suppose everyone can use reminders now and again. I am disheartened to learn that Indiana's governor signed this bill, hopefully Gen Con will follow through on the implications of their letter to the governor. Let us also hope that if/when Gen Con moves, they find a city as equally welcoming as Indianapolis has been.
Does anyone know how long Gen Con has remaining on its contract with Indianapolis?
