In the war for the hearts, minds and corporate relocations of businesses, Chicago has fired another shot across the bow at three Sun Belt rivals over recent legislation targeting the LGBTQ+ community, such as the Florida education law critics have dubbed “Don’t Say Gay.” World Business Chicago, the city’s public-private economic development arm, bought full-page ads Thursday in the Orlando Sentinel, Dallas Morning News and Phoenix Business Journal to launch a new marketing campaign and promote Chicago as a more inclusive business climate. “In Chicago, We Believe,” takes on a lightning rod issue that has led a growing number of

They're lying about the legislation. " Gay " is not mentioned. The legislation is about NOT sexualizing kids. Why would anyone be for that unless that's exactly what they want to do , and for what purpose ?

Eric Adams NYC mayor did the SAME thing. That is what they must have spoken about when Lightfoot and Adams met in person.... Leftists are so dumb. They want to prep kids ages 5-8 for sex... WHY?
The kids do Not belong to the State. Anyone who goes along with this crap needs their heads examined.

Flushing the money used for these ads would have a higher yield than these ad would.

Disneyworld will work great in cold frozen crime ridden NY. At least people will know when they’ve been robbed versus waiting for Disney credit card bill to find out.

Uh, Chicago, people are headed in the opposite direction -- to Florida, Texas, wherever -- precisely to avoid this kind of insanity.
Footnote: Polls show close to 50% of Democrats -- that's Democrats -- in Florida support DiSantis on this one.

RUFKM, these Democrat run cesspools are trying to lure businesses to their overtaxed burdened cities, with high crime and businesses burned out by BLM and Anitifa, all because of anti-groomer laws? And that is their selling point?
Sure, like that's going to work.

So, they can build their businesses in an equal opportunity city that will let multi-color, weirdos steal and kill them.

Sounds like a win/win to me!!!!!
Texas and Florida get rid of a bunch of perverts and groomers, and Chicago picks up a bunch of Demon-Rat voters!!!
As a Texan, I would go as far as to approve the state giving any of these perverts $500 relocation assistance as long as they sign a binding contract never to return to Texas again!!!!

If they can get some lefty lunatics to leave Florida and Texas, normal people will be very happy to be rid of them.

Do businesses really want to relocate to “ Don’t Stay Safe” Chicago and to a city with a long continual tradition of the having the most corrupt politics and politicians in the country. Not to mention the under-the- table payola they will need to do business in such a corrupt city. This is the home of Obama- need I say more.

Chicago is the worst place I have ever worked in my life. Government corruption, high cost of living, high crime rate, slow transportation and miserable weather all combine to make the place intolerable.

It's more than amazing how many people outside of Florida are so interested and so concerned that young school students in Florida's public schools cannot be groomed in class. It's more than disproportionate. It's indicative of what's important to the LGBTQIQ crowd and their zeal to normalize their proclivities, including grooming kindergarteners throughout the entire U.S.
I do not understand how the radical liberals - by stealth - have infested almost every government, social organization, educational institution, sports entity, church and other religious institution. It's no longer by stealth. It's in our faces, reinforced by threats, including cancel culture and censorship. There is far too little pushing back, including by weak kneed Republican politicians.

Probably some LGTBQ bureaucrat in Chicago got his jollies with this ad. IMHO a waste of money CEOs are more influenced by taxation, employment and business climate. Chicago and IL don't rank very high on those charts.

Why would anyone want to go to Chicago? ..when I travel I make it a point to detour around Illinois if at all possible...last time I had to go through it, I scraped all my pro-gun stickers off the car and locked my pistol in a car safe...and NO stops between borders...gas up and eat before entering...

Can't wait to see how many businesses leave Florida and Texas for cold, crime-ridden, heavily taxed Chicago so their children can be taught about sexual activity while in Kindergarten.
